Minseok Ryu developed an end-to-end differential privacy integration for the APPFL/APPFL repository, focusing on privacy budget management and the transition from a legacy mechanism to an Opacus-based solution. He refactored the training pipeline to attach the privacy model and compute the accumulated privacy budget, simplifying gradient clipping by leveraging the clip_grad configuration. His work included introducing differential privacy-compatible activations in convolutional neural networks and updating the MNIST example to demonstrate the new workflow with an adjusted client count. Utilizing Python, PyTorch, and deep learning techniques, Minseok delivered a cohesive, production-ready privacy solution with thoughtful algorithmic improvements.

Month 2025-10: Delivered end-to-end differential privacy integration for APPFL/APPFL using Opacus, including privacy budget management, removal of legacy DP mechanism, and a DP-enabled MNIST example. Refactors simplified gradient clipping to rely on clip_grad configuration, introduced DP-compatible activations, and aligned the training pipeline to attach the privacy model to compute the accumulated privacy budget. Key commits include four updates to CNN DP compatibility, gradient clipping refactor, and MNIST example enhancement: adb1fcc5d103df214b0947a176957280a4d3ce85; a78b8c6c0d1bacf15d0fc383e0ae7e7bac021dd6; a5fb85fa5ad50003ec7ab7338f1a3180b36bc63b; ce75cbce6beb67fb6587ca9cc90c7b6870cb561b.
