Appendix A Preliminaries

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this section, we discuss the hyperbolic operations used in HNN formulations and set up the meta-learning problem. This particular setup is also known as the N-ways K-shot learning problem. This section provides the theoretical proofs of the theorems presented in our main paper. Note that points in the local tangent space follow Euclidean algebra. The columns present the number of tasks in each batch (# Tasks), HNN update learning rate (), meta update learning rate (), and size of hidden dimensions (d).




A Broader Impact

Neural Information Processing Systems

Our work designs privacy attacks, which have the potential to cause harm. The main limitation of our work is the strong threat model under which our attacks work. All of our results on CIFAR-10 make use of fewer than 30000 trained models. We plot the effectiveness of Transfer LiRA in Figure 7. ROC curves for our student attacks are found Further qualitative examples can be found in Figure 9. Ablation of score information CIFAR-10 with duplicates are found in Figure 11. Distillation threat models, which we will consider simultaneously.


Students Parrot Their Teachers: Membership Inference on Model Distillation Matthew Jagielski

Neural Information Processing Systems

Model distillation is frequently proposed as a technique to reduce the privacy leakage of machine learning. These empirical privacy defenses rely on the intuition that distilled "student" models protect the privacy of training data, as they only interact with this data indirectly through a "teacher" model. In this work, we design membership inference attacks to systematically study the privacy provided by knowledge distillation to both the teacher and student training sets. Our new attacks show that distillation alone provides only limited privacy across a number of domains. We explain the success of our attacks on distillation by showing that membership inference attacks on a private dataset can succeed even if the target model is never queried on any actual training points, but only on inputs whose predictions are highly influenced by training data. Finally, we show that our attacks are strongest when student and teacher sets are similar, or when the attacker can poison the teacher set.
