Tools for the statistical disclosure control of machine learning models

AI-SDC

A collection of tools and resources for managing the statistical disclosure control of trained machine learning models. For a brief introduction, see Smith et al. (2022).

Content

• aisdc
  • attacks Contains a variety of privacy attacks on machine learning models, including membership and attribute inference.
  • preprocessing Contains preprocessing modules for test datasets.
  • safemodel The safemodel package is an open source wrapper for common machine learning models. It is designed for use by researchers in Trusted Research Environments (TREs) where disclosure control methods must be implemented. Safemodel aims to give researchers greater confidence that their models are more compliant with disclosure control.
• docs Contains Sphinx documentation files.
• example_notebooks Contains short tutorials on the basic concept of "safe_XX" versions of machine learning algorithms, and examples of some specific algorithms.
• examples Contains examples of how to run the code contained in this repository:
  • How to simulate attribute inference attacks attribute_inference_example.py.
  • How to simulate membership inference attacks:
    • Worst case scenario attack worst_case_attack_example.py.
    • LIRA scenario attack lira_attack_example.py.
  • Integration of attacks into safemodel classes safemodel_attack_integration_bothcalls.py.
• risk_examples Contains hypothetical examples of data leakage through machine learning models as described in the Green Paper.
• tests Contains unit tests.
