Comment on Launch HN: Flower (YC W23) – Train AI models on distributed or sensitive dataparent

Comments

Can you say more about what differential privacy is and how it works, for those of us who don't know or don't remember?

I too would be interested in understanding this better.

Let's say we're building a medical segmentation model, which takes a patient image and outlines a tumour (or some other feature that's unique to them). I am not sure this matters here, but let's say the model is a basic 2D U-net. Image pixels in, binary pixel labels out (cancer/non-cancer).

At a high level, how would a differentially-private setup work for training such a model across multiple institutions without pooling their patient data?
