Synthesizing and Adapting Error Correction Data for Mobile Large Language Model Applications

Yanxiang Zhang, Zheng Xu, Shanshan Wu +2

Error correction is an important capability when applying large language models (LLMs) to facilitate user typing on mobile devices. In this paper, we use LLMs to synthesize a high-…

A Hassle-free Algorithm for Private Learning in Practice: Don't Use Tree Aggregation, Use BLTs

H. Brendan McMahan, Zheng Xu, Yanxiang Zhang

The state-of-the-art for training on-device language models for mobile keyboard applications combines federated learning (FL) with differential privacy (DP) via the DP-Follow-the-R…

Prompt Public Large Language Models to Synthesize Data for Private On-device Applications

Shanshan Wu, Zheng Xu, Yanxiang Zhang +2

Pre-training on public data is an effective method to improve the performance for federated learning (FL) with differential privacy (DP). This paper investigates how large language…

Efficient Language Model Architectures for Differentially Private Federated Learning

Jae Hun Ro, Srinadh Bhojanapalli, Zheng Xu +2

Cross-device federated learning (FL) is a technique that trains a model on data distributed across typically millions of edge devices without data leaving the devices. SGD is the s…

Federated Learning of Gboard Language Models with Differential Privacy

Zheng Xu, Yanxiang Zhang, Galen Andrew +5

We train language models (LMs) with federated learning (FL) and differential privacy (DP) in the Google Keyboard (Gboard). We apply the DP-Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (DP-FTRL)~\…
