Federated learning aims to protect data privacy by collaboratively learning a model without sharing private data among users. However, an adversary may still be able to infer the private training data by attacking the released model. Differential privacy provides a statistical protection against such attacks at the price of significantly degrading the accuracy or utility of the trained models. In this paper, we investigate a utility enhancement scheme based on Laplacian smoothing for differentially private federated learning (DP-Fed-LS), where the parameter aggregation with injected Gaussian noise is improved in statistical precision without losing privacy budget. Our key observation is that the aggregated gradients in federated learning often enjoy a type of smoothness, i.e. sparsity in the graph Fourier basis with polynomial decays of Fourier coefficients as frequency grows, which can be exploited by the Laplacian smoothing efficiently. Under a prescribed differential privacy budget, convergence error bounds with tight rates are provided for DP-Fed-LS with uniform subsampling of heterogeneous Non-IID data, revealing possible utility improvement of Laplacian smoothing in effective dimensionality and variance reduction, among others. Experiments over MNIST, SVHN, and Shakespeare datasets show that the proposed method can improve model accuracy with DP-guarantee and membership privacy under both uniform and Poisson subsampling mechanisms.
The use of collaborative and decentralized machine learning techniques such as federated learning have the potential to enable the development and deployment of clinical risk predictions models in low-resource settings without requiring sensitive dat
While rich medical datasets are hosted in hospitals distributed across the world, concerns on patients privacy is a barrier against using such data to train deep neural networks (DNNs) for medical diagnostics. We propose Dopamine, a system to train D
We present differentially private efficient algorithms for learning union of polygons in the plane (which are not necessarily convex). Our algorithms achieve $(alpha,beta)$-PAC learning and $(epsilon,delta)$-differential privacy using a sample of siz
We study locally differentially private (LDP) bandits learning in this paper. First, we propose simple black-box reduction frameworks that can solve a large family of context-free bandits learning problems with LDP guarantee. Based on our frameworks,
Federated learning (FL) is a distributed learning paradigm in which many clients with heterogeneous, unbalanced, and often sensitive local data, collaborate to learn a model. Local Differential Privacy (LDP) provides a strong guarantee that each clie
