New framework Adaptive Diffusion Freezing enhances privacy in diffusion models

Researchers have introduced Adaptive Diffusion Freezing (ADF), a new framework designed to enhance privacy in diffusion models against membership inference attacks (MIAs). This method utilizes cross-timestep adaptive freezing training, employing a mask matrix to control data subset participation across different diffusion timesteps. This approach aims to reduce over-memorization and create more uniform model behaviors for both member and non-member samples. A risk-aware freezing policy is also introduced to estimate MIA risk and suppress high-risk subset-timestep pairs, thereby improving the privacy-utility-efficiency trade-off. AI

IMPACT This research offers a new method to mitigate privacy risks in diffusion models, potentially enabling wider adoption in sensitive applications.
