Counting on Dummies: Privacy Amplification with Observable Counts and Truncated Batches

Counting on Dummies: Privacy Amplification with Observable Counts and Truncated Batches Vitaly Feldman, Audra McMillan, Kunal Talwar http://arxiv.org/abs/2610.42139 In many practical deployments of Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD), the server processes data in batches. Randomly sampling these batches allows for better privacy bounds via privacy amplification results. Most sampling schemes with provable privacy amplification, including Poisson sampling and random allocation, result in variable batch sizes. The privacy guarantee of these schemes requires that the batch sizes are not revealed. In distributed settings, the server performing the aggregation or any party observing the communication traffic may learn these batch sizes. Furthermore, in both centralized and distributed settings, memory and computation constraints may require each batch to be of some maximum size $s$, necessitating truncation of the batch when it exceeds this limit. It is known that this truncation can result in a significant increase in privacy loss. In this work, we address both of these challenges via a simple mechanism that uses a random number of \emph{dummy points} to privatize the batch size and maintain the privacy guarantee even under truncation. We demonstrate that our mechanism is easy to implement in a distributed setting, and provide a general analysis of this mechanism for both Poisson sampling and random allocation. Our analysis is designed to support efficient and relatively tight privacy accounting. It also effectively amplifies the privacy of the count releases by subsampling, making the expected number of dummy points asymptotically smaller than what is needed to directly privatize the (sensitivity-one) batch sizes with non-negative noise. For Poisson sampling with truncated batches, we demonstrate empirically that our mechanism achieves better privacy--efficiency tradeoffs than the direct accounting for truncation recently given by (Ganesh, 20

I was trying to say a nodachi's a little bit longer than a talwar, so it'll have more reach and do a bit more damage.

Complexity of Differentially Private Selection via Federated APIs

Complexity of Differentially Private Selection via Federated APIs Hilal Asi, Vitaly Feldman, Jelani Nelson, Huy L. Nguyen, Kunal Talwar, Samson Zhou http://arxiv.org/abs/2610.38789 Differential privacy (DP) has become the standard for privacy-preserving data analysis, yet its practical implementation in federated or distributed settings often faces a significant utility gap compared to the central model. While existing frameworks, including local, shuffle, and secure aggregation models, offer vetted primitives, they can incur high error for important tasks such as selection. Our first contribution is to show that this is inherent in the aggregation model: any private selection algorithm relying on the standard noisy aggregation primitive requires $Ω(\sqrt{d}/\varepsilon)$ samples. To address this limitation, we propose adding a new primitive that implements a version of the Sparse Vector Technique (SVT) and argue that it has simple implementations under various trust models. We demonstrate its power by developing an $\varepsilon$-differentially private algorithm for the selection problem. For selection in dimension $d$, our algorithm achieves an additive error of $O\left(\frac{\log(dn)}{\varepsilon}\right)$, matching that of the central model when $n$ is polynomially bounded in $d$. Furthermore, we show that this can be done using a near-optimal expected number $O(d\log^*d)$ of SVT queries. Together with existing lower bounds for the shuffle model, this result establishes an exponential separation between the SVT model and shuffle or aggregation-based models. We demonstrate the model's broad applicability to diverse tasks such as $F_p$ loss minimization, heavy-hitter identification, and sparse mean estimation.

Last week I had the privilege of taking a close look at the INS Trishul, a Talwar-class guided missile frigate of the Indian Navy.

Over the last month, she has had a busy agenda that included exercises with the French, UK and Portuguese Navies in respectively Toulon, Plymouth and here in Lisbon.

TIL scimitars are not real. That is to say there is no single real sword that was called the scimitar but instead was a term made up by Westerners to describe a variety of different curved swords from different Middle Eastern cultures including the shamshir, saif, talwar, nimcha, kilij, and pulwar.
