A wide variety of deep neural applications increasingly rely on the cloud to perform their compute-heavy inference. This common practice requires sending private and privileged data over the network to remote servers, exposing it to the…
We consider training models on private data that are distributed across user devices. To ensure privacy, we add on-device noise and use secure aggregation so that only the noisy sum is revealed to the server. We present a comprehensive…
Many differentially private algorithms for answering database queries involve a step that reconstructs a discrete data distribution from noisy measurements. This provides consistent query answers and reduces error, but often requires space…
Convex programming with linear constraints plays an important role in the operation of a number of everyday systems. However, absent any additional protections, revealing or acting on the solutions to such problems may reveal information…
We present a differentially private mechanism to display statistics (e.g., the moving average) of a stream of real valued observations where the bound on each observation is either too conservative or unknown in advance. This is…
When applying differential privacy to sensitive data, we can often improve performance using external information such as other sensitive data, public data, or human priors. We propose to use the learning-augmented algorithms (or algorithms…

The data transmitted by cyber-physical systems can be intercepted and exploited by malicious individuals to infer privacy-sensitive information regarding the physical system. This motivates us to study the problem of preserving privacy in…
We introduce the problem of releasing sensitive data under differential privacy when the privacy level is subject to change over time. Existing work assumes that privacy level is determined by the system designer as a fixed value before…
Privacy preserving data publishing has attracted considerable research interest in recent years. Among the existing solutions, {\em $\epsilon$-differential privacy} provides one of the strongest privacy guarantees. Existing data publishing…
Differentially-private mechanisms for text generation typically add carefully calibrated noise to input words and use the nearest neighbor to the noised input as the output word. When the noise is small in magnitude, these mechanisms are…
We present an approach to differentially private computation in which one does not scale up the magnitude of noise for challenging queries, but rather scales down the contributions of challenging records. While scaling down all records…

Differential privacy is a promising privacy-preserving paradigm for statistical query processing over sensitive data. It works by injecting random noise into each query result, such that it is provably hard for the adversary to infer the…
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…
