Abstract
The technology described herein is related to a hybrid neural network that divides operations of a neural network layer between a server and a client device. In an aspect, one or more liner operations of a neural network layer are performed on the client, while non-linear operations, such as an activation function, are performed on the server. In an aspect, the technology described herein maintains network security by encrypting portions of the client-side components. The encrypted portions may be learned values, which may also be described as learned parameters. In aspects, homomorphic encryption is used.
