Usage

python main.py

By default this will run the experiment on CIFAR-100 dataset as described in the paper. Note that it will generate multiple runs of the trade-off between utility and privacy. The non-dominated solutions across the multiple runs provides the final trade-off front as reported in the paper.

In order to run the experiments on the other datasets in the paper, please edit the "main.py" file.
