New framework reduces communication costs for federated private optimization

Researchers have developed a new framework for differentially private (DP) optimization in federated learning settings. This method, called DP-PCA, aims to reduce communication costs while maintaining central DP guarantees. It achieves this through a DP rank selection step, a DP power method, and a noisy release of a projected covariance matrix, enabling preconditioned DP gradient descent with significantly lower communication than existing centralized methods.

    Federated Differentially Private Optimization via Low-Rank Preconditioning

    arXiv:2610.31069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider differentially private (DP) optimization in the federated setting, where a DP estimate of the feature covariance matrix serves as a Hessian approximation for generalized linear models. Existing central DP methods for cov…
