PRV accounting: fast numerical composition with controlled approximation

Contribution grade

Numerical differential-privacy accounting · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score140,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Represented privacy curves using privacy-loss random variables and composed them by FFT convolution, with mean-preserving discretization and truncation/error control for accurate privacy accounting.

Scientific scope

Represented privacy curves using privacy-loss random variables and composed them by FFT convolution, with mean-preserving discretization and truncation/error control for accurate privacy accounting. Inherits privacy-loss distributions and prior Fourier accountants; not invention of DP or convolution. Optimal composition means the supplied privacy curves/mechanism class, not auditing a real training implementation. Accuracy depends on mesh, tail truncation and input curves. Near-square-root self-composition complexity has accuracy/log factors and is not all heterogeneous workloads or machine-verified floating-point soundness.
