On Theoretical Limits of Learning with Label Differential Privacy
Our results demonstrate that under label local DP (LDP), the risk has a significantly faster convergence rate than that under full LDP, i. e. protecting both features and labels, indicating the advantages of relaxing the DP definition to focus solely on labels.

This paper introduces RDA, a pioneering approach designed to address two primary deficiencies prevalent in previous endeavors aiming at stealing pre-trained encoders: (1) suboptimal performances attributed to biased optimization objectives, and (2) elevated query costs stemming from the end-to-end paradigm that necessitates querying the target encoder every epoch.
