    摘要: The subject technology for maintaining differential privacy for database query results receives a query for a database that contains user data. The subject technology determines that the query is permitted for the database based at least in part on a privacy policy associated with the database. The subject technology determines that performing the query will not exceed a query budget for the database. The subject technology, when the query is permitted and performing the query will not exceed the query budget, performs the query on the database and receiving results from the query. The subject technology selects a differential privacy algorithm for the results based at least in part on a query type of the query. The subject technology applies the selected differential privacy algorithm to the results to generate differentially private results. The subject technology provides the differentially private results.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein provide techniques to encode sequential data in a privacy preserving manner before the data is sent to a sequence learning server. The server can then determine aggregate trends within an overall set of users, without having any specific knowledge about the contributions of individual users. The server can be used to learn new words generated by user client devices in a crowdsourced manner while maintaining local differential privacy of client devices. The server can also learn other sequential data including typed, autocorrected, revised text sequences, sequences of application launches, sequences of purchases on an application store, or other sequences of activities that can be performed on an electronic device.

    摘要: One embodiment provides for a mobile electronic device comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium to store instructions, the instructions to cause the mobile electronic device to receive a set of labeled data from a server; receive a unit of data from the server, the unit of data of a same type of data as the set of labeled data; determine a proposed label for the unit of data via a machine learning model on the mobile electronic device, the machine learning model to determine the proposed label for the unit of data based on the set of labeled data from the server and a set of unlabeled data associated with the mobile electronic device; encode the proposed label via a privacy algorithm to generate a privatized encoding of the proposed label; and transmit the privatized encoding of the proposed label to the server.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein provide for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising receiving a machine learning model from a server at a client device, training the machine learning model using local data at the client device, generating an update for the machine learning model, the update including a weight vector that represents a difference between the received machine learning model and the trained machine learning model, privatizing the update for the machine learning model, and transmitting the privatized update for the machine learning model to the server.
