Abstract (arXiv)

Differential privacy (DP) is typically formulated as a worst-case privacy guarantee over all individuals in a database. More recently, extensions to individual subjects or their attributes, have been introduced. Under the individual/per-instance DP interpretation, we study the connection between the per-subject gradient norm in DP neural networks and individual privacy loss and introduce a novel metric termed the Privacy Loss-Input Susceptibility (PLIS), which allows one to apportion the subject's privacy loss to their input attributes. We experimentally show how this enables the identification of sensitive attributes and of subjects at high risk of data reconstruction.
