Differentially private (DP) training preserves the data privacy usually at the cost of slower convergence (and thus lower accuracy), as well as more severe mis-calibration than its non-private counterpart. To analyze the convergence of DP…

The fine-tuning paradigm in addressing long-tail learning tasks has sparked significant interest since the emergence of foundation models. Nonetheless, how fine-tuning impacts performance in long-tail learning was not explicitly quantified.…

Machine learning (ML) models can memorize training datasets. As a result, training ML models over private datasets can lead to the violation of individuals' privacy. Differential privacy (DP) is a rigorous privacy notion to preserve the…

Domain generalization (DG) aims to train a model from limited source domains, allowing it to generalize to unknown target domains. Typically, DG models only employ large-scale pre-trained models during the initialization of fine-tuning.…

Federated learning seeks to address the issue of isolated data islands by making clients disclose only their local training models. However, it was demonstrated that private information could still be inferred by analyzing local model…

Deep learning has been widely used in data-intensive applications. However, training a deep neural network often requires a large data set. When there is not enough data available for training, the performance of deep learning models is…

Adversarial fine-tuning methods enhance adversarial robustness via fine-tuning the pre-trained model in an adversarial training manner. However, we identify that some specific latent features of adversarial samples are confused by…

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), using algorithms like Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), aligns Large Language Models (LLMs) with human values but is costly and unstable. Alternatives have been proposed to replace PPO or…

Differential privacy (DP) has become the standard for private data analysis. Certain machine learning applications only require privacy protection for specific protected attributes. Using naive variants of differential privacy in such use…

Federated learning (FL) allows multiple data-owners to collaboratively train machine learning models by exchanging local gradients, while keeping their private data on-device. To simultaneously enhance privacy and training efficiency,…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial examples crafted by well-designed perturbations. This could lead to disastrous results on critical applications such as self-driving cars, surveillance security, and medical…

While task-specific finetuning of pretrained networks has led to significant empirical advances in NLP, the large size of networks makes finetuning difficult to deploy in multi-task, memory-constrained settings. We propose diff pruning as a…

Model compression techniques reduce the computational load and memory consumption of deep neural networks. After the compression operation, e.g. parameter pruning, the model is normally fine-tuned on the original training dataset to recover…

Personalized federated learning (PFL), e.g., the renowned Ditto, strikes a balance between personalization and generalization by conducting federated learning (FL) to guide personalized learning (PL). While FL is unaffected by personalized…

Text-to-image diffusion models often face a severe trilemma in human portrait generation: text-image alignment, photorealism, and human-perceived aesthetics inherently inhibit one another. Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is an effective method…

Fine-tuning pre-trained neural network models has become a widely adopted approach across various domains. However, it can lead to the distortion of pre-trained feature extractors that already possess strong generalization capabilities.…

Differentially Private (DP) learning has seen limited success for building large deep learning models of text, and straightforward attempts at applying Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) to NLP tasks have resulted…
