About this paper

Kamil Adamczewski, Mijung Park

DP-SSGD uses public data to prepare models and privately update selected weights through fixed freezing or stepwise selection. By limiting coordinates receiving noisy updates, it may preserve useful signal under differential privacy. On CIFAR-10, ResNet-20 reaches 72.11% test accuracy with random freezing at ε=2, versus 68.5% for unpruned DP-SGD, also publicly pretrained; outcomes depend on privacy setting and public-data compatibility.
