"""
This script computes bounds on the privacy cost of training the
student model from noisy aggregation of labels predicted by teachers.
It should be used only after training the student (and therefore the
teachers as well). We however include the label files required to
reproduce key results from our paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.05755): 
the epsilon bounds for MNIST and SVHN students.

The command that computes the epsilon bound associated
with the training of the MNIST student model (100 label queries
with a (1/20)*2=0.1 epsilon bound each) is:

python analysis.py 
  --counts_file=mnist_250_teachers_labels.npy 
  --indices_file=mnist_250_teachers_100_indices_used_by_student.npy

The command that computes the epsilon bound associated
with the training of the SVHN student model (1000 label queries
with a (1/20)*2=0.1 epsilon bound each) is:

python analysis.py 
  --counts_file=svhn_250_teachers_labels.npy 
  --max_examples=1000
  --delta=1e-6
