We propose a general framework to establish lower bounds on the sample complexity of statistical tasks under differential privacy.

Hadamard Response: Estimating Distributions Privately, Efficiently, and with Little Communication

3 code implementations13 Feb 2018 Jayadev Acharya, Ziteng Sun, Huanyu Zhang

All previously known sample optimal algorithms require linear (in $k$) communication from each user in the high privacy regime $(\varepsilon=O(1))$, and run in time that grows as $n\cdot k$, which can be prohibitive for large domain size $k$.

Domain Compression and its Application to Randomness-Optimal Distributed Goodness-of-Fit

no code implementations20 Jul 2019 Jayadev Acharya, Clément L. Canonne, Yanjun Han, Ziteng Sun, Himanshu Tyagi

We study goodness-of-fit of discrete distributions in the distributed setting, where samples are divided between multiple users who can only release a limited amount of information about their samples due to various information constraints.

Context-Aware Local Differential Privacy

no code implementations31 Oct 2019 Jayadev Acharya, Keith Bonawitz, Peter Kairouz, Daniel Ramage, Ziteng Sun

Local differential privacy (LDP) is a strong notion of privacy for individual users that often comes at the expense of a significant drop in utility.

We consider the task of estimating the entropy of $k$-ary distributions from samples in the streaming model, where space is limited.

Can You Really Backdoor Federated Learning?

no code implementations18 Nov 2019 Ziteng Sun, Peter Kairouz, Ananda Theertha Suresh, H. Brendan McMahan

This paper focuses on backdoor attacks in the federated learning setting, where the goal of the adversary is to reduce the performance of the model on targeted tasks while maintaining good performance on the main task.
