Optimal Balance of Privacy and Utility with Differential Privacy Deep Learning Frameworks

Conference ·
As the number of online services has increased, the amount of sensitive data being recorded is rising. Simultaneously, the decision-making process has improved by using the vast amounts of data, where machine learning has transformed entire industries. This paper addresses the development of optimal private deep neural networks and discusses the challenges associated with this task. We focus on differential privacy implementations and finding the optimal balance between accuracy and privacy, benefits and limitations of existing libraries, and challenges of applying private machine learning models in practical applications. Our analysis shows that learning rate, and privacy budget are the key factors that impact the results, and we discuss options for these settings.
