Abstract
A system and method for dividing a model between a client and server for inference. The method include dividing, at a first computing device, a model into a first portion of the model and a second portion of the model, transmitting the second portion to a second computing device, wherein the second computing device provides private data the second portion, receiving a activation values at the first computing device from the second computing device, applying the activation values to the first portion and transmitting a model output from the first computing device to the second computing device. The model can also be divided into three or more parts.
