Abstract
With the vigorous development of artificial intelligence technology, various engineering technology applications have been implemented one after another. The gradient descent method plays an important role in solving various optimization problems, due to its simple structure, good stability and easy implementation. In multi-node machine learning system, the gradients usually need to be shared. Data reconstruction attacks can reconstruct training data simply by knowing the gradient information. In this paper, to prevent gradient leakage while keeping the accuracy of model, we propose the super stochastic gradient descent approach to update parameters by concealing the modulus length of gradient vectors and converting it or them into a unit vector. Furthermore, we analyze the security of stochastic gradient descent approach. Experiment results show that our approach is obviously superior to prevalent gradient descent approaches in terms of accuracy and robustness.
