Understanding and managing data privacy in the digital world can be challenging for sighted users, let alone blind and low-vision (BLV) users. There is limited research on how BLV users, who have special accessibility needs, navigate data…
Causality has been recently introduced in databases, to model, characterize and possibly compute causes for query results (answers). Connections between queryanswer causality, consistency-based diagnosis, database repairs (wrt. integrity…
Keyword search in relational databases has been widely studied in recent years because it does not require users neither to master a certain structured query language nor to know the complex underlying database schemas. Most of existing…
With the increasing demand for data sharing across platforms and organizations, ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive information has become a critical challenge. This paper introduces "TableGuard". An innovative approach to data…
In this paper, we consider secure outsourced growing databases that support view-based query answering. These databases allow untrusted servers to privately maintain a materialized view, such that they can use only the materialized view to…
While large-scale face datasets have advanced deep learning-based face analysis, they also raise privacy concerns due to the sensitive personal information they contain. Recent schemes have implemented differential privacy to protect face…
Anonymizing sensitive information in user text is essential for privacy, yet existing methods often apply uniform treatment across attributes, which can conflict with communicative intent and obscure necessary information. This is…
In online social networks (OSN), users quite usually disclose sensitive information about themselves by publishing messages. At the same time, they are (in many cases) unable to properly manage the access to this sensitive information due…
Interacting with relational databases through natural language helps users of any background easily query and analyze a vast amount of data. This requires a system that understands users' questions and converts them to SQL queries…
In data-intensive real-time applications, such as smart transportation and manufacturing, ensuring data freshness is essential, as using obsolete data can lead to negative outcomes. Validity intervals serve as the standard means to specify…
Text-to-SQL systems empower users to interact with databases using natural language, automatically translating queries into executable SQL code. However, their reliance on database schema information for SQL generation exposes them to…
Existing studies on differential privacy mainly consider aggregation on data sets where each entry corresponds to a particular participant to be protected. In many situations, a user may pose a relational algebra query on a sensitive…
In recent years, the surge in unstructured data analysis, facilitated by advancements in Machine Learning (ML), has prompted diverse approaches for handling images, text documents, and videos. Analysts, leveraging ML models, can extract…
In distributed networks, calculating the maximum element is a fundamental task in data analysis, known as the distributed maximum consensus problem. However, the sensitive nature of the data involved makes privacy protection essential.…
We present a relational MPC framework for secure collaborative analytics on private data with no information leakage. Our work targets challenging use cases where data owners may not have private resources to participate in the computation,…
Deep Web databases contain more than 90% of pertinent information of the Web. Despite their importance, users don't profit of this treasury. Many deep web services are offering competitive services in term of prices, quality of service, and…
We consider the problems of finding and determining certain query answers and of determining containment between queries; each problem is formulated in presence of materialized views and dependencies under the closed-world assumption. We…
An important aspect of data integration involves answering queries using various resources rather than by accessing database relations. The process of transforming a query from the database relations to the resources is often referred to as…
Individuals and organizations tend to migrate their data to clouds, especially in a DataBase as a Service (DBaaS) pattern. The major obstacle is the conflict between secrecy and utilization of the relational database to be outsourced. We…
The well-known benefits of cloud computing have spurred the popularity of database service outsourcing, where one can resort to the cloud to conveniently store and query databases. Coming with such popular trend is the threat to data…
