Trade-off Functions for DP-SGD with Subsampling based on Random Allocation: Tight Upper and Lower Bounds

arXiv:2605. 06259v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Within the $f$-DP framework, we derive a tight analysis of the trade-off function for Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) with subsampling based on random allocation in which each sample is independently assigned to exactly one of $M$ minibatches per epoch, each minibatch corresponding to one of the $M$ SGD rounds within a single epoch.

Towards Hyperparameter Transfer for Differentially Private Optimization

The paper introduces DP‑µP, a framework that extends Maximal Update Parametrization to differential privacy settings. By analyzing gradient clipping, noise injection, and feature learning, it derives a signal‑to‑noise ratio condition and spectral scaling rules for DP‑SGD, DP‑Adam, and DP‑Muon optimizers. Experiments show that DP‑µP enables zero‑shot transfer of learning rates across model widths on MLP, ViT, and GPT‑2, matching or surpassing tuned baselines while cutting computational costs.

Escaping Iterative Parameter-Space Noise: Differentially Private Learning with a Hypernetwork

arXiv:2606. 26772v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentially private (DP) training of neural networks is often hindered by the large amount of noise required by gradient-based methods such as DP-SGD, which repeatedly inject high-dimensional noise in parameter space throughout training.
