证明了采样高斯机制中噪声随采样率下降的猜想,完善了差分隐私理论。
Notes on Sampled Gaussian Mechanism
- 通过严格推导证明采样率越高,有效噪声越低
- 确认大采样率能实现更优的隐私与性能平衡
- 适合关注差分隐私理论严谨性的研究人员
本文证明了Räisä等在2024年论文中提出的近期猜想。该论文中的定理6.2指出,对于采样高斯机制——即采样与加性高斯噪声的组合——其有效噪声水平 $σ_{\text{eff}} = \frac{σ(q)}{q}$ 随采样率 $q$ 的增加而减小。因此,更高的采样率可带来更好的隐私-效用权衡。本文提供了对原论文中未解决的猜想6.3的严格证明,从而完整确立了定理6.2的成立。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In these notes, we prove a recent conjecture posed in the paper by Räisä, O. et al. [Subsampling is not Magic: Why Large Batch Sizes Work for Differentially Private Stochastic Optimization (2024)]. Theorem 6.2 of the paper asserts that for the Sampled Gaussian Mechanism - a composition of subsampling and additive Gaussian noise, the effective noise level, $σ_{\text{eff}} = \frac{σ(q)}{q}$, decreases as a function of the subsampling rate $q$. Consequently, larger subsampling rates are preferred for better privacy-utility trade-offs. Our notes provide a rigorous proof of Conjecture 6.3, which was left unresolved in the original paper, thereby completing the proof of Theorem 6.2.
