A Privacy Study of Sparse Collaborative Inference

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 16236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collaborative inference (CI) splits a model between an edge device and a server, whereby the client computes an intermediate activation, transmits it, and the server completes the computation.
