This paper introduces a novel approach to measuring privacy risks in deep computer vision models based on intermediate outputs.

problem The exposure of intermediate results in hidden layers of deep computer vision models poses significant privacy concerns.
method The approach leverages Degrees of Freedom (DoF) to evaluate the amount of information retained in each layer and combines this with the rank of the Jacobian matrix to assess sensitivity to input variations.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a risk measure that extends the Gini-type measures of risk and variability, the Extended Gini Shortfall, by taking risk aversion into consideration. Our risk measure is coherent and catches variability, an important concept for risk management. The analysis is made under the Choque…

Faced with massive data, is it possible to trade off (statistical) risk, and (computational) space and time? This challenge lies at the heart of large-scale machine learning. Using k-means clustering as a prototypical unsupervised learning problem, we show how we can strategically summarize the data (control space) in …
