MAPLE: Metadata Augmented Private Language Evolution

Eli Chien, Yuzheng Hu, Ryan McKenna +3

Differentially private (DP) fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) requires massive compute and full model access, which rules out state-of-the-art proprietary APIs for genera…

VaultGemma: A Differentially Private Gemma Model

Amer Sinha, Thomas Mesnard, Ryan McKenna +18

We introduce VaultGemma 1B, a 1 billion parameter model within the Gemma family, fully trained with differential privacy. Pretrained on the identical data mixture used for the Gemm…

It's My Data Too: Private ML for Datasets with Multi-User Training Examples

Arun Ganesh, Ryan McKenna, Brendan McMahan +2

We initiate a study of algorithms for model training with user-level differential privacy (DP), where each example may be attributed to multiple users, which we call the multi-attr…

Scaling Laws for Differentially Private Language Models

Ryan McKenna, Yangsibo Huang, Amer Sinha +9

Scaling laws have emerged as important components of large language model (LLM) training as they can predict performance gains through scale, and provide guidance on important hype…
