The paper investigates the challenges of privately sharing expert predictions in a federated learning framework, where multiple clients collaborate to minimize regret while ensuring differential privacy. The authors propose novel algorithms, Fed-DP-OPE-Stoch and Fed-SVT, that achieve significant speed-ups in average regret compared to single-player counterparts, under both pure and approximate differential privacy constraints. The results also establish lower bounds for oblivious adversaries, demonstrating the importance of collaboration among clients.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper looks at how experts can share their predictions with others privately while working together to make better decisions. It shows that by sharing information in a special way, experts can make faster and more accurate decisions than if they worked alone. The authors also found limits on what can be achieved when working together against an unknown adversary.
