Projected Language Models: A Large Model Pre-Segmented Into Smaller Ones

Machine Learning Research at Apple

This paper has been accepted at the Foundation Models in the Wild workshop at ICML 2024. Large language models are versatile tools but are not suitable for small inference budgets. Small models have more efficient inference but their lower capacity means that their performance can be good only if one limits their scope to a specialized domain. This paper explores how to get a small language model with good specialized accuracy, even when specialization data is unknown during pretraining.

PINE: Efficient Norm-Bound Verification for Secret-Shared Vectors

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Secure aggregation of high-dimensional vectors is a fundamental primitive in federated statistics and learning. A two-server system such as PRIO allows for scalable aggregation of secret-shared vectors. Adversarial clients might try to manipulate the aggregate, so it is important to ensure that each (secret-shared) contribution is well-formed. In this work, we focus on the important and well-studied goal of ensuring that each contribution vector has bounded Euclidean norm.
