An exponential mechanism based on quadratic approximations for fine-tuning machine learning models with privacy guarantees
Hoang Tran, Jorge Ramirez, Jiayi Wang +3
Fine-tuning adapts a pretrained machine learning model to a small, sensitive dataset, but this process risks memorizing individual new data points, making the model vulnerable to a…

Are Normalizing Flows the Key to Unlocking the Exponential Mechanism?
Robert A. Bridges, Vandy J. Tombs, Christopher B. Stanley
The Exponential Mechanism (ExpM), designed for private optimization, has been historically sidelined from use on continuous sample spaces, as it requires sampling from a generally…
