题  目：Hardware-assisted Privacy-preserving Decision Tree Training and Inference

内容简介：Decision tree (DT) is a widely used machine learning model due to its versatility, speed, and interpretability. However, for privacy-sensitive applications, outsourcing DT training and inference to cloud platforms raises concerns about data privacy. Researchers have developed privacy-preserving approaches for DT training and inference using cryptographic primitives, such as Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). While these approaches have shown progress, they still suffer from heavy computation and communication overheads. This talk will discuss the potential of using hardware: Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and GPUs to speed up the DR training and inference. Our study has found that hardware-assisted DT training and inference significantly outperform pure software-based solutions without any loss on security guarantee.
