Description

Hello,

I was trying to see if the Opacus library can be used with the Trainer module of huggingface. I see a code snippet in the readme that says to do the callback dp_transformers.PrivacyEngineCallback in the Trainer module. However, it leads to an error that says the callback does not exist. I was unable to figure it out in the source code either.

It would be really helpful if I could be pointed to the part of the source code that has this callback or maybe guide me with any solution for the error.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the README snippet using dp_transformers.PrivacyEngineCallback, then compare it with the Trainer integration in the source and reproduce the reported missing-callback error. Done means establishing whether the documented HuggingFace and Opacus integration is supported and bringing the documentation and available callback into agreement.
