Bayes Security (β*, higher better) of DP-SGD against membership and attribute inference on the Adult and Purchase datasets as a function of the number of training steps. The green dashed line shows the corresponding DP budget (ε). Membership and attribute inference curves decrease monotonically as the model is trained for longer and the accuracy and DP budget grow.
