Keyword(s): Homomorphic Evaluation, Approximate Computing, ReLU, Convolutional Neural Networks.

Abstract: Homomorphic encryption (HE) allows computations on encrypted data, making it desirable for use in privacy-preserving data analytics. However, HE function evaluation is computationally intensive. Approximate computing (AC) allows a trade-off between accuracy, memory/energy usage and running time. Polynomial approximation of the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) function, a key CNN activation function, is explored and AC techniques of task-skipping and depth reduction are applied. The most accurate ReLU approximations are implemented in nGraph-HE’s Cryptonets CNN using a SEAL backend, resulting in a minimal decrease in training accuracy of 0.0011, no change in plaintext classification accuracy, and a speed-up of 47%.
