Title:
Scalable Privacy-Aware Collaborative Learning


Abstract:

Privacy-preserving collaborative learning allows multiple data-owners to
jointly train machine learning models while keeping their individual
datasets private from each other. The main bottleneck against the
scalability of such systems to a large number of participants is their
communication cost. In this talk, we will introduce novel distributed
training frameworks that can achieve scalability and privacy-protection
simultaneously. The proposed frameworks provide strong
information-theoretic privacy guarantees against (computationally)
unbounded adversaries, while achieving significant reduction in the
communication overhead against state-of-the-art secure training protocols.


------------------------------------
Sponsored by the UCR Data Science Center, the purpose of the Data Science
Seminars is to foster collaborations between "core" Data Science faculty
(from CSE/ECE/Stat Departments) and faculty/visitors from other sciences
that face Data Science problems in their research. These informal
gatherings are open to interested faculty and graduate students. Each
meeting will start with a talk describing research problems and then a
discussion will follow for questions, open problems, ideas for possible
collaborations etc.

A full list of previous seminars appears at:

Please forward this email to other colleagues or graduate students in your
lab that may be interested.

Moreover, if you are interested in giving a Data Science related talk,
please contact me.

Sincerely,
Vassilis Tsotras
Professor, CSE Department
Director, Data Science Major
