Abstract

Back-propagation is an effective method for neural network learning. To improve the accuracy of the learning result, in practice multiple parties may want to collaborate by jointly executing the back-propagation algorithm on the union of their respective data sets. During this process no party wants to disclose her/his private data to others for privacy concerns. Existing schemes supporting this kind of collaborative learning just partially solve the problem by limiting the way of data partition or considering only two parties. There still lacks a solution for more general and practical settings wherein two or more parties, each with an arbitrarily partitioned data set, collaboratively conduct learning.
