New RaCO-DP method enhances private learning with fairness constraints

Researchers have developed RaCO-DP, a novel method for optimizing machine learning models under differential privacy while adhering to rate constraints. This approach addresses challenges in applying standard DP techniques to objectives that depend on aggregate statistics across subpopulations, such as group fairness constraints. RaCO-DP utilizes a Lagrangian formulation and a novel analysis of Stochastic Gradient Descent-Ascent (SGDA) to ensure privacy and convergence. Empirical results indicate that RaCO-DP outperforms existing private learning methods in terms of privacy, utility, and fairness, particularly for neural networks. AI

    Private Rate-Constrained Optimization with Applications to Fair Learning

    arXiv:2505.22703v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many problems in trustworthy ML can be expressed as constraints on prediction rates across subpopulations, including group fairness constraints (demographic parity, equalized odds, etc.). In this work, we study such constrained …
