R\'enyi Differential Privacy for Heavy-Tailed SDEs via Fractional Poincar\'e Inequalities
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses the challenges of characterizing differential privacy (DP) in learning algorithms, particularly in the context of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with heavy-tailed noise. Recent advancements have provided DP guarantees for heavy-tailed SGD without gradient clipping, but these results are limited by parameter dependence and do not extend to R'enyi differential privacy (RDP). The authors propose new methods to address these limitations.
