用随机微分方程建模神经网络，提升隐私保护能力。

In this work, we study the feasibility of using neural ordinary differential equations (NODEs) to model systems with intrinsic privacy properties. Unlike conventional feedforward neural networks, which have unlimited expressivity and can represent arbitrary mappings between inputs and outputs, NODEs constrain their learning to the solution of a system of differential equations. We first examine whether this constraint reduces memorization and, consequently, the membership inference risks associated with NODEs. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of NODEs under membership inference attacks and show that they exhibit twice the resistance compared to conventional models such as ResNets. By analyzing the variance in membership risks across different NODE models, we find that their limited expressivity leads to reduced overfitting to the training data. We then demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, that membership inference risks can be further mitigated by utilizing a stochastic variant of NODEs: neural stochastic differential equations (NSDEs). We show that NSDEs are differentially-private (DP) learners that provide the same provable privacy guarantees as DPSGD, the de-facto mechanism for training private models. NSDEs are also effective in mitigating membership inference attacks, achieving risk levels comparable to private models trained with DP-SGD while offering an improved privacyutility trade-off. Moreover, we propose a drop-in-replacement strategy that efficiently integrates NSDEs into conventional feedforward architectures to enhance their privacy.
