High-Dimensional Privacy-Utility Dynamics of Noisy Stochastic Gradient Descent on Least Squares
Shurong Lin, Eric D. Kolaczyk, Adam Smith +1
The interplay between optimization and privacy has become a central theme in privacy-preserving machine learning. Noisy stochastic gradient descent (SGD) has emerged as a cornersto…
The Sample Complexity of Membership Inference and Privacy Auditing
Mahdi Haghifam, Adam Smith, Jonathan Ullman
A membership-inference attack gets the output of a learning algorithm, and a target individual, and tries to determine whether this individual is a member of the training data or a…
Black-Box Privacy Attacks on Shared Representations in Multitask Learning
John Abascal, Nicolás Berrios, Alina Oprea +3
Multitask learning (MTL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm that leverages similarities among multiple learning tasks, each with insufficient samples to train a standalone model, t…
Privacy in Metalearning and Multitask Learning: Modeling and Separations
Maryam Aliakbarpour, Konstantina Bairaktari, Adam Smith +2
Model personalization allows a set of individuals, each facing a different learning task, to train models that are more accurate for each person than those they could develop indiv…
Auditing Privacy Mechanisms via Label Inference Attacks
Róbert István Busa-Fekete, Travis Dick, Claudio Gentile +3
We propose reconstruction advantage measures to audit label privatization mechanisms. A reconstruction advantage measure quantifies the increase in an attacker's ability to infer t…
