Differentially Private Language Models Benefit from Public Pre-training
Language modeling is a keystone task in natural language processing. When training a language model on sensitive information, differential privacy (DP) allows us to quantify the degree to which our private data is protected. However, training algorithms which enforce differential privacy often lead to degradation in model quality. We study the feasibility of learning a language model which is simultaneously high-quality and privacy preserving by tuning a public base model on a private corpus. We find that DP fine-tuning boosts the performance of language models in the private domain, making the training of such models possible.

Differentially Private Adaptive Optimization with Delayed Preconditioners
Privacy noise may negate the benefits of using adaptive optimizers in differentially private model training. Prior works typically address this issue by using auxiliary information (e.g., public data) to boost the effect…
Can Public Large Language Models Help Private Cross-device Federated Learning?
We study (differentially) private federated learning (FL) of language models. The language models in cross-device FL are relatively small, which can be trained with meaningful formal user-level differential privacy (DP) …
Federated LearningOn the Benefits of Public Representations for Private Transfer Learning under Distribution Shift
Public pretraining is a promising approach to improve differentially private model training. However, recent work has noted that many positive research results studying this paradigm only consider in-distribution tasks, …

Public data has been frequently used to improve the privacy-accuracy trade-off of differentially private machine learning, but prior work largely assumes that this data come from the same distribution as the private. In …
