PFGuard同时保障生成数据的隐私与公平性,避免两者冲突导致的副作用。
PFGuard: A Generative Framework with Privacy and Fairness Safeguards
- 用多教师模型集成缓解隐私与公平之间的冲突
- 在高维数据上实现差分隐私与公平性收敛
- 适合关注可信AI中隐私公平平衡的研究者
生成模型需兼顾隐私与公平以实现可信AI。尽管隐私与公平常被分别研究,近期工作尝试结合现有技术以同时达成两项目标。然而,简单拼接可能导致隐私-公平冲突:少数群体样本为支持公平而被保留,却因隐私保护被压制。我们揭示此类冲突会引发隐私泄露及意外的公平-效用权衡。为此,提出PFGuard——一种兼具隐私与公平保障的生成框架,可同步优化隐私、公平与实用性。通过多教师模型集成,在公平与私密训练阶段间平衡冲突,并基于集成学习实现高实用性。大量实验表明,PFGuard能在高维数据上生成合成数据,同时满足差分隐私(DP)保证并实现公平生成建模的收敛。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative models must ensure both privacy and fairness for Trustworthy AI. While these goals have been pursued separately, recent studies propose to combine existing privacy and fairness techniques to achieve both goals. However, naively combining these techniques can be insufficient due to privacy-fairness conflicts, where a sample in a minority group may be represented in ways that support fairness, only to be suppressed for privacy. We demonstrate how these conflicts lead to adverse effects, such as privacy violations and unexpected fairness-utility tradeoffs. To mitigate these risks, we propose PFGuard, a generative framework with privacy and fairness safeguards, which simultaneously addresses privacy, fairness, and utility. By using an ensemble of multiple teacher models, PFGuard balances privacy-fairness conflicts between fair and private training stages and achieves high utility based on ensemble learning. Extensive experiments show that PFGuard successfully generates synthetic data on high-dimensional data while providing both DP guarantees and convergence in fair generative modeling.
