Abstract
Rehearsal-based continual learning in Medical IoT (MIoT) autoencoders requires replaying latent codes of past clinical tasks to prevent catastrophic forgetting. When these latent codes are derived from patient data, each replay constitutes a fresh privacy query, and existing differential privacy (DP) composition theorems-designed for finite, pre-specified query sequences-fail to bound cumulative privacy leakage over an unbounded task horizon. This paper presents PRISM-DP, a Privacy-Resilient Infinite-Sequence Memory framework that introduces a martingale-based DP composition theorem for unbounded replay sequences. PRISM-DP proves that a geometrically decaying per-task privacy schedule combin... More >
