Differentially Private Distributed Stochastic Optimization with Time-Varying Sample Sizes
Differentially private distributed stochastic optimization has become a hot topic due to the urgent need of privacy protection in distributed stochastic optimization. In this paper, two-time scale stochastic approximation-type algorithms for differentially private distributed stochastic optimization with time-varying sample sizes are proposed using gradient- and output-perturbation methods. For both gradient- and output-perturbation cases, the convergence of the algorithm and differential privacy with a finite cumulative privacy budget $\varepsilon$ for an infinite number of iterations are simultaneously established, which is substantially different from the existing works. By a time-varying sample sizes method, the privacy level is enhanced, and differential privacy with a finite cumulative privacy budget $\varepsilon$ for an infinite number of iterations is established. By properly choosing a Lyapunov function, the algorithm achieves almost-sure and mean-square convergence even when the added privacy noises have an increasing variance. Furthermore, we rigorously provide the mean-square convergence rates of the algorithm and show how the added privacy noise affects the convergence rate of the algorithm. Finally, numerical examples including distributed training on a benchmark machine learning dataset are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and advantages of the algorithms.
