New framework automates transformer approximation for faster homomorphic encryption

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ATLAS, an automated framework designed to optimize the approximation of transformer models for efficient homomorphic inference. This new system addresses the challenge of configuring per-layer approximation settings, which is crucial for reducing latency and maintaining predictive accuracy in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). ATLAS employs a two-stage optimization strategy and surrogate models to navigate the vast search space of possible configurations, making it feasible to deploy complex models like BERT, ViT, and LLaMA 3 under FHE. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient and private inference of large transformer models using homomorphic encryption.

    ATLAS: Automated Approximation of Transformers for Efficient Homomorphic Inference in One Hour

    arXiv:2607.23478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) provides strong cryptographic guarantees for private inference, but deploying transformer models under FHE remains prohibitively expensive. A key bottleneck is that non-linear operations such as …
