PE-SGD: Differentially Private Deep Learning via Evolution of Gradient Subspace for Text

ICLR 2026poster

Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) and its variants like DP-Adam ensure data privacy by injecting noise into per-sample gradients. Although effective with large private datasets, their performance degrades significantly when private training data is limited. Recent works lev…

Contrastive Private Data Synthesis via Weighted Multi-PLM Fusion

ICML 2025poster

Substantial quantity and high quality are the golden rules of making a good training dataset with sample privacy protection equally important. Generating synthetic samples that resemble high-quality private data while ensuring Differential Privacy (DP), a formal privacy guarantee, promises scalabili…

PCEvolve: Private Contrastive Evolution for Synthetic Dataset Generation via Few-Shot Private Data and Generative APIs

ICML 2025spotlight

The rise of generative APIs has fueled interest in privacy-preserving synthetic data generation. While the Private Evolution (PE) algorithm generates Differential Privacy (DP) synthetic images using diffusion model APIs, it struggles with few-shot private data due to the limitations of its DP-protec…

FuseGen: PLM Fusion for Data-generation based Zero-shot Learning

EMNLP 2024main

Data-generation based zero-shot learning, although effective in training Small Task-specific Models (STMs) via synthetic datasets generated by Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs), is often limited by the low quality of such synthetic datasets. Previous solutions have primarily focused on single PLM s…

VFLAIR: A Research Library and Benchmark for Vertical Federated Learning

ICLR 2024poster

Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) has emerged as a collaborative training paradigm that allows participants with different features of the same group of users to accomplish cooperative training without exposing their raw data or model parameters. VFL has gained significant attention for its research…
