Differential privacy is the de-facto privacy standard in data analysis. The classic model of differential privacy considers the data to be static. The dynamic setting, called differential privacy under continual observation, captures many…

As machine learning as a service continues gaining popularity, concerns about privacy and intellectual property arise. Users often hesitate to disclose their private information to obtain a service, while service providers aim to protect…

A range counting problem is specified by a set $P$ of size $|P| = n$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, an integer weight $x_p$ associated to each point $p \in P$, and a range space ${\cal R} \subseteq 2^{P}$. Given a query range $R \in {\cal…

Given a database of bit strings $A_1,\ldots,A_m\in \{0,1\}^n$, a fundamental data structure task is to estimate the distances between a given query $B\in \{0,1\}^n$ with all the strings in the database. In addition, one might further want…
