DiscQuant: A Quantization Method for Neural Networks Inspired by Discrepancy Theory

Jerry Chee, Arturs Backurs, Rainie Heck +4

Quantizing the weights of a neural network has two steps: (1) Finding a good low bit-complexity representation for weights (which we call the quantization grid) and (2) Rounding th…

Efficiently Computing Similarities to Private Datasets

Arturs Backurs, Zinan Lin, Sepideh Mahabadi +2

Many methods in differentially private model training rely on computing the similarity between a query point (such as public or synthetic data) and private data. We abstract out th…
