Understanding Private Learning From Feature Perspective

ICML 2026poster

Differentially private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) has become integral to privacy-preserving machine learning, ensuring robust privacy guarantees in sensitive domains. Despite notable empirical advances leveraging features from non-private, pre-trained models to enhance DP-SGD training, a t…

Improved Rates of Differentially Private Nonconvex-Strongly-Concave Minimax Optimization

AAAI 2025technical

In this paper, we study the problem of (finite sum) minimax optimization in the Differential Privacy (DP) model. Unlike most of the previous studies on the (strongly) convex-concave settings or loss functions satisfying the Polyak-Lojasiewicz condition, here we mainly focus on the nonconvex-strongly…

Nearly Optimal Differentially Private ReLU Regression

UAI 2025

In this paper, we investigate one of the most fundamental non-convex learning problems-ReLU regression-in the Differential Privacy (DP) model. Previous studies on private ReLU regression heavily rely on stringent assumptions, such as constant-bounded norms for feature vectors and labels. We relax th

TTVD: Towards a Geometric Framework for Test-Time Adaptation Based on Voronoi Diagram

ICLR 2025poster

Deep learning models often struggle with generalization when deploying on real-world data, due to the common distributional shift to the training data. Test-time adaptation (TTA) is an emerging scheme used at inference time to address this issue. In TTA, models are adapted online at the same time wh…

Revisiting Differentially Private ReLU Regression

NeurIPS 2024poster

As one of the most fundamental non-convex learning problems, ReLU regression under differential privacy (DP) constraints, especially in high-dimensional settings, remains a challenging area in privacy-preserving machine learning. Existing results are limited to the assumptions of bounded norm $ \|\m…
