DP-SGD and the moments accountant for private neural-network training

Contribution grade

Differentially private machine learning · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score300,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Combined per-example gradient-norm clipping, calibrated Gaussian noise and privacy-loss moment accounting to train neural networks while tracking example-level differential privacy.

Scientific scope

Combined per-example gradient-norm clipping, calibrated Gaussian noise and privacy-loss moment accounting to train neural networks while tracking example-level differential privacy. Inherits DP and noisy SGD, adds deep-training implementation/accounting refinements. Guarantees require the stated neighboring-data definition, bounded influence, randomized sampling/noise and composition accounting; example-level DP does not automatically give comparable user-level DP. Analyzed independent inclusion sampling differs from practical shuffled batching. No universal zero-utility-loss or complete security claim.
