LightSplit enhances privacy in split learning with orthogonal projections

Researchers have developed LightSplit, a novel approach to privacy-preserving split learning that uses orthogonal projections to reduce communication overhead and protect against reconstruction attacks. This method partitions neural networks across clients and a central server, with the projections acting as an information bottleneck to discard instance-specific signals. LightSplit maintains end-to-end differentiability and has been evaluated on various benchmarks, showing significant compression rates while retaining high accuracy and resisting state-of-the-art reconstruction attacks.
