OptiFluence: Principled Design of Privacy Canaries

ICML 2026poster

Privacy auditing has emerged as a practical tool for empirically estimating training data leakage in machine learning models, in contrast to the provable but often overly pessimistic bounds provided by differential privacy analysis. A common strategy is to use membership inference attacks to detect …

Private Rate-Constrained Optimization with Applications to Fair Learning

ICLR 2026poster

Many problems in trustworthy ML can be expressed as constraints on prediction rates across subpopulations, including group fairness constraints (demographic parity, equalized odds, etc.). In this work, we study such constrained minimization problems under differential privacy (DP). Standard DP optim…

Suitability Filter: A Statistical Framework for Classifier Evaluation in Real-World Deployment Settings

ICML 2025oral

Deploying machine learning models in safety-critical domains poses a key challenge: ensuring reliable model performance on downstream user data without access to ground truth labels for direct validation. We propose the _suitability filter_, a novel framework designed to detect performance deteriora…

Washing The Unwashable : On The (Im)possibility of Fairwashing Detection

NeurIPS 2022accept

The use of black-box models (e.g., deep neural networks) in high-stakes decision-making systems, whose internal logic is complex, raises the need for providing explanations about their decisions. Model explanation techniques mitigate this problem by generating an interpretable and high-fidelity surr…

Dataset Inference: Ownership Resolution in Machine Learning

ICLR 2021spotlight

With increasingly more data and computation involved in their training, machine learning models constitute valuable intellectual property. This has spurred interest in model stealing, which is made more practical by advances in learning with partial, little, or no supervision. Existing defenses foc…
