Stability and Generalization of Differentially Private Minimax Problems
share
In the field of machine learning, many problems can be formulated as the minimax problem, including reinforcement learning, generative adversarial networks, to just name a few. So the minimax problem has attracted a huge amount of attentions from researchers in recent decades. However, there is relatively little work on studying the privacy of the general minimax paradigm. In this paper, we focus on the privacy of the general minimax setting, combining differential privacy together with minimax optimization paradigm. Besides, via algorithmic stability theory, we theoretically analyze the high probability generalization performance of the differentially private minimax algorithm under the strongly-convex-strongly-concave condition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to analyze the generalization performance of general minimax paradigm, taking differential privacy into account.
