Our lab at the Weizmann Institute was hit tonight by Iran We will rebuild and return 💪
I am excited to share our new monograph that dives deep into correlated noise mechanisms, one that enables real-world, production-grade differential privacy at scale, without compromising learning performance. The project started with a discussion over lunch in Google's Canopy…
Incredibly well deserved!!
