Differentially private training uses correlated noise to improve model utility while preserving privacy guarantees. Existing methods like BISR work well with large noise buffers but degrade when memory is constrained. γ-BIFR generalizes prior approaches, achieving significantly better RMSE and error bounds across all bandwidth regimes—from memory-limited to asymptotically optimal settings. The method is analyzed theoretically for multi-epoch training and provides tighter guarantees for multi-participation scenarios.
