In the context of smooth stochastic optimization with first order methods, we introduce the stability ratio of gradient estimates, as a measure of local relative noise level, from zero for pure noise to one for negligible noise. We show that a schedulefree variant (Stab-SGD) of stochastic gradient descent obtained by just shrinking the learning rate by the stability ratio achieves real adaptivity to noise levels (i.e.

We then resample a dataset with these domain weights and train a larger, full-sized model.

However, despite two and a half decades of research, the ability to update priors sequentially without losing confidence information along the way remained elusiveforPAC-Bayes.

Differentially private (stochastic) gradient descent is the workhorse of DP private machine learning in both the convex and non-convex settings.
