In this paper, we study a distributed privacy-preserving learning problem in social networks with general topology. The agents can communicate with each other over the network, which may result in privacy disclosure, since the…
Local differential privacy is a promising privacy-preserving model for statistical aggregation of user data that prevents user privacy leakage from the data aggregator. This paper focuses on the problem of estimating the distribution of…
Privacy preserving in machine learning is a crucial issue in industry informatics since data used for training in industries usually contain sensitive information. Existing differentially private machine learning algorithms have not…
Differential privacy is a standard framework to quantify the privacy loss in the data anonymization process. To preserve differential privacy, a random noise adding mechanism is widely adopted, where the trade-off between data privacy level…
Many resource allocation problems can be formulated as an optimization problem whose constraints contain sensitive information about participating users. This paper concerns solving this kind of optimization problem in a distributed manner…
A fundamental problem in differential privacy is to release a privatized data structure over a dataset that can be used to answer a class of linear queries with small errors. This problem has been well studied in the static case. In this…

Random cropping is one of the most common data augmentation techniques in computer vision, yet the role of its inherent randomness in training differentially private machine learning models has thus far gone unexplored. We observe that when…
Differential privacy (DP) is widely employed to provide privacy protection for individuals by limiting information leakage from the aggregated data. Two well-known models of DP are the central model and the local model. The former requires…
Differential privacy (DP) enables private data analysis. In a typical DP deployment, controllers manage individuals' sensitive data and are responsible for answering analysts' queries while protecting individuals' privacy. They do so by…
Privacy issues of recommender systems have become a hot topic for the society as such systems are appearing in every corner of our life. In contrast to the fact that many secure multi-party computation protocols have been proposed to…
Aggregate time-series data like traffic flow and site occupancy repeatedly sample statistics from a population across time. Such data can be profoundly useful for understanding trends within a given population, but also pose a significant…
Recent advances in neural network based language models lead to successful deployments of such models, improving user experience in various applications. It has been demonstrated that strong performance of language models comes along with…
Deep learning models are known to put the privacy of their training data at risk, which poses challenges for their safe and ethical release to the public. Differentially private stochastic gradient descent is the de facto standard for…
Organizations started to adopt differential privacy (DP) techniques hoping to persuade more users to share personal data with them. However, many users do not understand DP techniques, thus may not be willing to share. Previous research…
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…
In this paper, the privacy of wireless transmissions is improved through the use of an efficient technique termed dynamic directional modulation (DDM), and is subsequently assessed in terms of the measure of information leakage. Recently, a…
Several companies (e.g., Meta, Google) have initiated "data-for-good" projects where aggregate location data are first sanitized and released publicly, which is useful to many applications in transportation, public health (e.g., COVID-19…
Differential privacy is often studied in one of two models. In the central model, a single analyzer has the responsibility of performing a privacy-preserving computation on data. But in the local model, each data owner ensures their own…
This paper is motivated by applications of a Census Bureau interested in releasing aggregate socio-economic data about a large population without revealing sensitive information about any individual. The released information can be the…
