From Robustness to Privacy and Back

no code implementations3 Feb 2023 Hilal Asi, Jonathan Ullman, Lydia Zakynthinou

Thus, we conclude that for any low-dimensional task, the optimal error rate for $\varepsilon$-differentially private estimators is essentially the same as the optimal error rate for estimators that are robust to adversarially corrupting $1/\varepsilon$ training samples.

Multitask Learning via Shared Features: Algorithms and Hardness

no code implementations7 Sep 2022 Konstantina Bairaktari, Guy Blanc, Li-Yang Tan, Jonathan Ullman, Lydia Zakynthinou

We investigate the computational efficiency of multitask learning of Boolean functions over the $d$-dimensional hypercube, that are related by means of a feature representation of size $k \ll d$ shared across all tasks.

Covariance-Aware Private Mean Estimation Without Private Covariance Estimation

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Gavin Brown, Marco Gaboardi, Adam Smith, Jonathan Ullman, Lydia Zakynthinou

Each of our estimators is based on a simple, general approach to designing differentially private mechanisms, but with novel technical steps to make the estimator private and sample-efficient.

Differentially Private Decomposable Submodular Maximization

no code implementations29 May 2020 Anamay Chaturvedi, Huy Nguyen, Lydia Zakynthinou

We extend this work by designing differentially private algorithms for both monotone and non-monotone decomposable submodular maximization under general matroid constraints, with competitive utility guarantees.

Reasoning About Generalization via Conditional Mutual Information

no code implementations24 Jan 2020 Thomas Steinke, Lydia Zakynthinou

We provide an information-theoretic framework for studying the generalization properties of machine learning algorithms.

Private Identity Testing for High-Dimensional Distributions

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Clément L. Canonne, Gautam Kamath, Audra McMillan, Jonathan Ullman, Lydia Zakynthinou

In this work we present novel differentially private identity (goodness-of-fit) testers for natural and widely studied classes of multivariate product distributions: Gaussians in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with known covariance and product distributions over $\{\pm 1\}^{d}$.

Efficient Private Algorithms for Learning Large-Margin Halfspaces

no code implementations24 Feb 2019 Huy L. Nguyen, Jonathan Ullman, Lydia Zakynthinou

We present new differentially private algorithms for learning a large-margin halfspace.

Improved Algorithms for Collaborative PAC Learning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2018 Huy L. Nguyen, Lydia Zakynthinou

We study a recent model of collaborative PAC learning where $k$ players with $k$ different tasks collaborate to learn a single classifier that works for all tasks.
