Intuitively, robustness and privacy of an algorithm are closely related: they both say the algorithm should be somehow insensitive to changing a small amount of the dataset. Formalizing connections between the two has proven to be a bit trickier. 3/n

Private Estimators Framework: Dwork and Lei’s 2009 Breakthrough
By
–
This direction was kicked off by Dwork and Lei in 2009, who gave a framework for designing private estimators, which works especially well given robust ones (

New paper with @Samuel_BKH
, @mahbodm_
, and Shyam Narayanan: "Robustness Implies Privacy in Statistical Estimation." A robust estimator can be (black-box) converted to a private estimator, often optimally. https://

RLHF reduces prompt engineering needs but unlocking full LLM potential requires prompting
By
–
useful counterpoint – RLHF diminishes the need for prompt eng for the median usecase, but the capabilities of LLMs are much more vast and will be unlocked with some amount of prompting (remains to be seen HOW MUCH engineering is required; is @langchain a feature or bug?)
