While gradient aggregation playing a vital role in federated or collaborative learning, recent studies have revealed that gradient aggregation may suffer from some attacks, such as gradient inversion, where the private training data can be recovered from the shared gradients. However, the performance of the existing attack methods is limited because they usually require prior knowledge in Batch Normalization and could only reconstruct a single image or a small batch one. To make the attacks less restrictive and more applicable, we propose an effective and practical gradient inversion method in this paper. Specifically, we use cosine similarity to measure the difference of gradients between the synthesized and ground-truth images, and then construct an input regularization for the fully connected layer to ensure the fidelity of the image. Moreover, we apply the total variation denoising strategy to the convolution feature map for further improving the smoothness of the reconstructed image. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can reconstruct high fidelity training data on a large batch size for complex data sets, such as ImageNet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
