We present two tempering by subsampling algorithms, subsampled…

A new model-free subsampling method using uniform designs is proposed.
We study the problem of subsampling in differential privacy (DP), a question that is the centerpiece behind many successful differentially private machine learning algorithms.

Large sample size brings the computation bottleneck for modern data analysis. Subsampling is one of efficient strategies to handle this problem.

Early stopping is a well known approach to reduce the time complexity for performing training and model selection of large scale learning machines.
