Publication number: 20240126899Abstract: There are proposed a method, device, apparatus, and medium for protecting sensitive data. In a method, to-be-processed data is received from a server device. A processing result of a user for the to-be-processed data is received, the processing result comprising sensitive data of the user for the processing of the to-be-processed data. A gradient for training a server model at the server device is determined based on a comparison between the processing result and a prediction result for the to-be-processed data. The gradient is updated in a change direction associated with the gradient so as to generate an updated gradient to be sent to the server device. Noise is added only in the change direction associated with the gradient. The corresponding overhead of processing noise in a plurality of directions can be reduced, and no excessive noise data interfering with training will be introduced to the updated gradient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Xin YANG, Junyuan XIE, Jiankai SUN, Yuanshun YAO, Chong WANG

Publication number: 20240070525Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques of performing machine unlearning in a recommendation model. An unlearning process of the recommendation model may be initiated in response to receiving a request for deleting a fraction of user data from any particular user. The recommendation model may be pre-trained to recommend content to users based at least in part on user data. Values of entries in a matrix corresponding to the fraction of user data may be configured as zero. The matrix may comprise entries denoting preferences of users with respect to content items. Confidence values associated with the fraction of user data may be configured as zero to block influence of the fraction of user data on performance of the recommendation model. The unlearning process may be implemented by performing a number of iterations until the recommendation model has converged.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Jiankai Sun, Xinlei Xu, Xin Yang, Yuanshun Yao, Chong Wang
