Title: A Fairness Analysis on Differentially Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles. Abstract: Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles (PATE) is an important
private machine learning framework. It combines multiple
learning models used as teachers for a student model that
learns to predict an output chosen by noisy voting among the
teachers. The resulting model satisfies differential privacy and has
been shown effective in learning high-quality private models in
semi-supervised settings or when one wishes to protect the data
labels.

This paper asks whether this privacy-preserving framework introduces
or exacerbates unfairness and shows that PATE can introduce
accuracy disparity among individuals and groups of individuals. 
The paper analyzes
which algorithmic and data properties are responsible for the
disproportionate impacts, why these aspects are affecting different
groups disproportionately, and proposes guidelines to mitigate these
effects.
