Privacy preserving mechanisms such as differential privacy inject additional randomness in the form of noise in the data, beyond the sampling mechanism. Ignoring this additional noise can lead to inaccurate and invalid inferences. In this…

Knowledge distillation has emerged as a scalable and effective way for privacy-preserving machine learning. One remaining drawback is that it consumes privacy in a model-level (i.e., client-level) manner, every distillation query incurs…
