Google Makes Machine Learning Library Open Source

To help developers train AI agents with strong privacy guarantees, Google just released a machine learning library called TensorFlow Privacy. The library, which is open source, can be downloaded on GitHub.

Aside from training AI models with privacy, TensorFlow aims to “advance the state-of-the-art in machine learning with strong privacy guarantees.”

In a blog post published by Google Brain Product Manager Carey Radebaugh and Google Research Scientist Ulfar Erlingsson, the duo wrote:

“Modern machine learning is increasingly applied to create amazing new technologies and user experiences, many of which involve training machines to learn responsibly from sensitive data, such as personal photos or email. Ideally, the parameters of trained machine-learning models should encode general patterns rather than facts about specific training examples.”

Google plans to turn TensorFlow Privacy into a hub with all the best techniques in training machine learning models with strong privacy guarantees.

Machine Learning Library

TensorFlow Privacy operates on the principle of differential privacy. This is a statistical technique to maximize accuracy while balancing user information.

Differential privacy ensures that an AI model cannot encode information unique to a developer. This blocks all chances of a breach releasing a user’s identity.

Instead of gathering and storing information to learn, differential privacy enables an AI agent to acquire knowledge from patterns that show up en masse.

For instance, all the information being typed into Gmail is in the form of a Smart Reply. However, the differential privacy technique used by Google will not allow the personal data typed by a person on their email to show up as a Smart Reply in a stranger’s email.

Google hopes that by sharing TensorFlow Privacy, developers can integrate it into other machine learning tools or even improve its capabilities. The machine learning library only requires simple code changes and hyperparameter tuning to make it easier to use for both new and experienced developers.

    In the world of cryptocurrency trading and investing, you need to be careful about the risks involved. I was naive enough to believe that I could make huge profits without doing proper research on the subject. I lost $243,000 in USDT and BTC due to a failed cryptocurrency investment plan. Fortunately for me, I was able to contact a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company known as Alien Coin Recovery. I was skeptical at first, but their professionalism and proven experience reassured me. The recovery process involved providing detailed information about the fraud, including transaction history and communication records. I managed to get back all the money I invested in the fraudulent investment scheme. I am grateful to Alien Coin Recovery for their honesty. Here is a recommendation for everyone who intends to recover lost funds. Alien Coin Recovery is the most reliable team. You can contact the Alien Coin team using this information WHATSAPP: +1 210 646-1486 EMAIL: (info@aliencoin.co)
