When evaluating ML models, it can be difficult to tell the difference between what the models have generalized from the training and what the models have simply memorized. And that difference can be crucial in some ML tasks, such as when ML models are trained using sensitive data. Úlfar Erlingsson explains how to offer strong privacy guarantees for ML training data by using TensorFlow Privacy. Read more.
