Join us June 11-12 for a workshop on Differential Privacy and Unlearning in Machine Learning at University of Copenhagen! The workshop will feature tutorials, three great invited speakers (@grahamrc.bsky.social, @ahonkela.bsky.social and @koloskova.bsky.social), as well as contributed talks.
Antti Honkela
@ahonkela.bsky.social
Prof of machine learning at University of Helsinki. Interested in (differential) privacy and open source software.
A Gaussian mechanism with ε = 6 can be less private than one with ε = 8. This points to a problem with how we report privacy guarantees in machine learning. A thread 🧵
Interesting "Truly private AI" that seems like the first to deliver that, up to what current technology enables. (Yes, you have to trust the opaque magic of Trusted Execution Environments, but it is hard to see how to realistically avoid that for now.) confer.to

How to ensure anonymity of AI systems? | Faculty of Science | University of Helsinki
When training artificial intelligence systems, developers need to use privacy-enhancing technologies to ensure that the subjects of the training data are not exposed, new study suggests.

@iclr-conf.bsky.social regarding your LLM policy, can you please confirm that one does not need to have an LLM usage section in the main body of the paper if LLMs did not play a significant role as defined here?

I have seen some anti-peer-review takes on here, and, believe me, I understand the frustrations, but I would urge caution before doing or publicly saying anything too drastic. We live in age rife with misinformation and anti-intellectualism—not everyone wants academia to survive
