A Gaussian mechanism with ε = 6 can be less private than one with ε = 8. This points to a problem with how we report privacy guarantees in machine learning. A thread 🧵

@jpineau1 Thanks for sharing! This is an important discussion. I wonder if you have some concrete examples of which rules are unclear? The letter is quite vague in this regard.

For 10+ years Meta open sourced quality models - many of them by the FAIR team.
Today, European companies, academics, developers are calling on the EU to embrace the potential of AI and create a regulatory environment that fosters responsible innovation.

This seems to be happening for pretty much everyone outside the EU (plus a few countries with similar legislation). Good example of why strong privacy laws matter.

@thegautamkamath Sounds like a very good idea, even though it violates explicit instructions from the PCs: "Please do not reveal your name in any note you write (both to authors and to other reviewers)."
Given the odd wording, maybe that was not intended, though?
English
We complain a lot about reviewer apathy. I think connecting people with the various roles is really important in fighting that.
Eg, for NeurIPS ACing, I a) make sure my reviewers know who I am (o/w anon by default), & b) email reminders from my personal acc (not generic OR ones)

I've been doing my old-man-yelling-at-the-cloud bit about this for years now how hard is it to sign off with your actual names rather than Program Chairs? is the process not sufficiently atomized, mechanized, and impersonal as it is?
