Deep neural networks with their large number of parameters are highly flexible learning systems. The high flexibility in such networks brings with some serious problems such as overfitting, and regularization is used to address this…
Differential privacy formalises privacy-preserving mechanisms that provide access to a database. We pose the question of whether Bayesian inference itself can be used directly to provide private access to data, with no modification. The…
Differential privacy (DP) provides robust privacy guarantees for statistical inference, but this can lead to unreliable results and biases in downstream applications. While several noise-aware approaches have been proposed which integrate…
Collaborative filtering (CF) recommendation algorithms are well-known for their outstanding recommendation performances, but previous researches showed that they could cause privacy leakage for users due to k-nearest neighboring (KNN)…
Estimating the probability density of a population while preserving the privacy of individuals in that population is an important and challenging problem that has received considerable attention in recent years. While the previous…
Differential privacy (DP) techniques can be applied to the federated learning model to statistically guarantee data privacy against inference attacks to communication among the learning agents. While ensuring strong data privacy, however,…
Traditional differential privacy is independent of the data distribution. However, this is not well-matched with the modern machine learning context, where models are trained on specific data. As a result, achieving meaningful privacy…
Users of a personalised recommendation system face a dilemma: recommendations can be improved by learning from data, but only if the other users are willing to share their private information. Good personalised predictions are vitally…
Large data collections required for the training of neural networks often contain sensitive information such as the medical histories of patients, and the privacy of the training data must be preserved. In this paper, we introduce a dropout…
The use of Deep Neural Network based systems in the real world is growing. They have achieved state-of-the-art performance on many image, speech and text datasets. They have been shown to be powerful systems that are capable of learning…
Local differential privacy (LDP) has become a central topic in data privacy research, offering strong privacy guarantees by perturbing user data at the source and removing the need for a trusted curator. However, the noise introduced by LDP…
Differentially private selection mechanisms offer strong privacy guarantees for queries aiming to identify the top-scoring element r from a finite set R, based on a dataset-dependent utility function. While selection queries are fundamental…
Differential privacy is one of the methods to solve the problem of privacy protection in federated learning. Setting the same privacy budget for each round will result in reduced accuracy in training. The existing methods of the adjustment…
With the increasing popularity of GPS-enabled hand-held devices, location-based applications and services have access to accurate and real-time location information, raising serious privacy concerns for their millions of users. Trying to…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a probabilistic framework that protects privacy while preserving data utility. To protect the privacy of the individuals in the dataset, DP requires adding a precise amount of noise to a statistic of interest;…
With the recent surge of social networks like Facebook, new forms of recommendations have become possible -- personalized recommendations of ads, content, and even new social and product connections based on one's social interactions. In…
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…
Differential privacy is a popular privacy-enhancing technology that has been deployed both in industry and government agencies. Unfortunately, existing explanations of differential privacy fail to set accurate privacy expectations for data…
Emerging systems such as smart grids or intelligent transportation systems often require end-user applications to continuously send information to external data aggregators performing monitoring or control tasks. This can result in an…
There is an increasing demand to make data "open" to third parties, as data sharing has great benefits in data-driven decision making. However, with a wide variety of sensitive data collected, protecting privacy of individuals, communities…
