A Smart Privacy-Preserving Learning Method by Fake Gradients to Protect Users Items in Recommender Systems by Guixun Luo, Zhiyuan Zhang, Zhenjiang Zhang, Yun Liu, Lifu Wang

“…We make the Kullback–Leibler distance between the real and fake gradient distributions to be small thus hard to be distinguished. Using theories and experiments, we show that our algorithm can be reduced to a time-delay SGD, which can be proved to have a good convergence so that the accuracy will not decline. …”

Integral Transforms on a Function Space with Change of Scales Using Multivariate Normal Distributions by Dong Hyun Cho

“…Using simple formulas for generalized conditional Wiener integrals on a function space which is an analogue of Wiener space, we evaluate two generalized analytic conditional Wiener integrals of a generalized cylinder function which is useful in Feynman integration theories and quantum mechanics. We then establish various integral transforms over continuous paths with change of scales for the generalized analytic conditional Wiener integrals. …”
