Neural network learning algorithms are widely used in medical diagnosis, bioinformatics, intrusion detection, homeland security and other fields. The common of these applications is that all of them need to extract patterns and predict trends from a large number of complex data. In these applications, how to protect the privacy of sensitive data and personal information from disclosure is an important issue. At present, the vast majority of existing neural network learning algorithms did not consider how to protect the data privacy in the process of learning. So this paper proposes two privacy-preserving back-propagation neural network protocols applied to horizontally partitioned data and vertically partitioned data separately. The two protocols are suitable for multiple participants in a distributed environment. The results of experiments show the difference of the test error rate between the proposed two protocols and the respective non-privacy preserving versions.

In this paper, we explore the concept of sequential learning and the efficacy of global and local neural network learning algorithms on a sequential learning task. Pseudorehearsal, a method developed by Robins19) to solve the catastrophic forgetting problem which arises from the excessive plasticity of neural networks, is significantly more effective than other local learning algorithms for the sequential task. We further consider the concept of local learning and suggest that pseudorehearsal is so effective because it works directly at the level of the learned function, and not indirectly on the representation of the function within the network. We also briefly explore the effect of local learning on generalization within the task.
