Abstract
Recent research showed that most of the existing machine learning algorithms are vulnerable to various privacy attacks. An effective way for defending these attacks is to enforce differential privacy during the learning process. As a rigorous scheme for privacy preserving, Differential Privacy has now become a standard for private data analysis. In this talk, I will present some recent developments in trustworthy machine learning from a differential privacy view. In the first part, I will talk about some pitfalls and trustworthy issues (such as resilience and fairness) in the current differentially private machine learning algorithms. Then I will discuss how to use the idea of differential privacy to other topics in trustworthy machine learning, such as adversarial machine learning and machine unlearning.
