New pruning method enhances reliability of encrypted neural networks

Researchers have developed a new method called Polynomial-Sensitivity-Aware Pruning (PSAP) to improve the reliability of neural networks when encrypted using homomorphic encryption (HE). PSAP considers weight magnitude, polynomial activation sensitivity, and rotation cost to prune filters, concentrating pruning in fault-tolerant regions. This approach significantly reduces the number of layers vulnerable to catastrophic accuracy drops compared to standard magnitude pruning, even under bit-flip injection, and provides a conservative proxy for reliability testing.
