Privacy-preserving deep learning is crucial for deploying deep neural network based solutions, especially when the model works on data that contains sensitive information. Most privacy-preserving methods lead to undesirable performance…
The growing development of artificial intelligence based solutions, together with privacy legislation, has driven the rise of the so-called privacy preserving machine learning architectures, such as federated learning. While federated…
While preserving the privacy of federated learning (FL), differential privacy (DP) inevitably degrades the utility (i.e., accuracy) of FL due to model perturbations caused by DP noise added to model updates. Existing studies have considered…
The need to analyze sensitive data, such as medical records or financial data, has created a critical research challenge in recent years. In this paper, we adopt the framework of differential privacy, and explore mechanisms for generating…
Normalizing flow models have risen as a popular solution to the problem of density estimation, enabling high-quality synthetic data generation as well as exact probability density evaluation. However, in contexts where individuals are…
Modern machine learning algorithms aim to extract fine-grained information from data to provide accurate predictions, which often conflicts with the goal of privacy protection. This paper addresses the practical and theoretical importance…
Deep learning models can achieve high inference accuracy by extracting rich knowledge from massive well-annotated data, but may pose the risk of data privacy leakage in practical deployment. In this paper, we present an effective…
Synthetic data has been hailed as the silver bullet for privacy preserving data analysis. If a record is not real, then how could it violate a person's privacy? In addition, deep-learning based generative models are employed successfully to…
Privacy protection has become an increasingly pressing requirement in distributed optimization. However, equipping distributed optimization with differential privacy, the state-of-the-art privacy protection mechanism, will unavoidably…
We study instrumental variable regression (IVaR) under differential privacy constraints. Classical IVaR methods (like two-stage least squares regression) rely on solving moment equations that directly use sensitive covariates and…

Complex networks usually expose community structure with groups of nodes sharing many links with the other nodes in the same group and relatively few with the nodes of the rest. This feature captures valuable information about the…
Spectral clustering and its extensions usually consist of two steps: (1) constructing a graph and computing the relaxed solution; (2) discretizing relaxed solutions. Although the former has been extensively investigated, the discretization…
Sequential recommendation has attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry, however the privacy risks associated to gathering and transferring users' personal interaction data are often underestimated or ignored. Existing…
Smart power grids offer to revolutionize power distribution by sharing granular power usage data, though this same data sharing can reveal a great deal about users, and there are serious privacy concerns for customers. In this paper, we…
