Interactive communication protocol allows two parties to privately test whether their datasets are compatible for joint training under epsilon-differential privacy using Theta(log log m over epsilon) samples for…

Alice and Bob each hold sensitive labeled data and want to know if pooling increases the number of mistakes opt_H made by any hypothesis in class H on combined data. They distinguish opt_H equals 0 from opt_H greater than or equal to t under pure epsilon-two-party differential privacy without revealing data points. For thresholds over domain of size m the optimal t is tilde Theta(log log m over epsilon). For halfspaces in R to the d the dependence on m becomes log m with protocol t equals tilde O of d cubed log m over epsilon.

Key facts
  • distinguish opt_H equals 0 from opt_H greater than or equal to t
  • pure epsilon-two-party differential privacy
  • optimal t tilde Theta(log log m over epsilon) for thresholds
  • protocol t tilde O(d cubed log m over epsilon) for halfspaces
  • some domains require t Omega(d log(m over d) over epsilon)

In this paper, we study when two parties should pool their data to train a machine learning model. Two agents, Alice and Bob, each hold a sensitive labeled dataset and want to train a classifier from a given hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$.
