Overview

This repository provides implementation for three case studies in our paper.

• MNIST digit handwritten dataset
• Free Spoken Digit Dataset (FSD)
• American Sign Language (ASL)

The demonstration of ObfNet is available here.

Getting Started

pip install -r requirements.txt # install dependencies
python mnist/main.py -T -IC -OM # first train cnn-based inference network and then mlp-based obfuscation network
python fsd/main.py  
python asl/main.py 

Note:

• FSD is located at releases. Download and unzip to current folder.
• For ASL dataset, it can be downloaded from here.
