Privacy Auditing with One (1) Training Run We propose a scheme for auditing differentially private machine learning systems with a single training run. This exploits the parallelism of being able to add or remove multiple training examples independently. We analyze this using the connection between differential privacy and statistical... Explaining Knock-on Effects of Bias Mitigation In machine learning systems, bias mitigation approaches aim to make outcomes fairer across privileged and unprivileged groups.
