Recent years, local differential privacy (LDP) has been adopted by many web service providers like Google \cite{erlingsson2014rappor}, Apple \cite{apple2017privacy} and Microsoft \cite{bolin2017telemetry} to collect and analyse users' data…

In this paper, we study a privacy filter design problem for a sequence of sensor measurements whose joint probability density function (p.d.f.) depends on a private parameter. To ensure parameter privacy, we propose a filter design…
We study the statistical complexity of private linear regression under an unknown, potentially ill-conditioned covariate distribution. Somewhat surprisingly, under privacy constraints the intrinsic complexity is \emph{not} captured by the…
The \emph{Sparse Johnson-Lindenstrauss Transform} of Kane and Nelson (SODA 2012) provides a linear dimensionality-reducing map $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times u}$ in $\ell_2$ that preserves distances up to distortion of $1 + \varepsilon$ with…
Random projections are random linear maps, sampled from appropriate distributions, that approx- imately preserve certain geometrical invariants so that the approximation improves as the dimension of the space grows. The well-known…
This paper considers the problem of outsourcing the multiplication of two private and sparse matrices to untrusted workers. Secret sharing schemes can be used to tolerate stragglers and guarantee information-theoretic privacy of the…
