Rényi DP accountants show improved privacy guarantees for DP-SGD

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of Rényi DP accountants for differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD). The study observes that Rényi DP can utilize a distinct pair of worst-case distributions compared to lossless frameworks, specifically two-dimensional Gaussian mixtures. Numerical and asymptotic comparisons indicate that this improved Rényi DP bound can offer superior privacy guarantees across various hyperparameter settings. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and effective privacy-preserving machine learning techniques.

    Can R\'enyi Accountants Beat Lossless Accountants for DP-SGD?

    arXiv:2610.17120v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent frameworks in differential privacy (DP), such as privacy loss distributions and $f$-DP, provide lossless representations of the privacy leakage of mechanisms. These approaches are often considered to yield tighter $(\vareps…
