New framework boosts empirical privacy for DP-SGD in machine learning

Researchers have introduced a new framework to enhance the empirical privacy of machine learning algorithms, specifically targeting DP-SGD. This framework aims to optimize for empirical privacy lower bounds, complementing existing theoretical upper bounds. The proposed defense is designed to improve empirical privacy on standard benchmarks with no theoretical privacy cost when used with DP-SGD, offering a flexible solution against various audit constructions, models, and datasets.

    Revisiting the Provable-Auditable Privacy Gap of DP-SGD

    arXiv:2608.28934v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differential privacy (DP) has traditionally been used to provide theoretical upper bounds on an algorithm's stability to changing its training data. In modern private machine learning applications, achieving strong tradeoffs between…
