We introduce a secure multi-party compute (MPC) protocol that utilizes "helper" parties to train models, so that once data leaves the browser, no downstream system can individually construct a complete picture of the user activity.

Unbiased Estimation of the Value of an Optimized Policy

no code implementations7 Jun 2018 Elon Portugaly, Joseph J. Pfeiffer III

However, although A/B testing provides an unbiased estimator for the value of deploying B (i. e., switching from policy A to B), direct application of those samples to learn the the optimized policy P generally does not provide an unbiased estimator of the value of P as the samples were observed when constructing P. In situations where the cost and risks associated of deploying a policy are high, such an unbiased estimator is highly desirable.
