The randomized power method has gained significant interest due to its simplicity and efficient handling of large-scale spectral analysis and recommendation tasks. However, its application to large datasets containing personal information…
Ensuring privacy of sensitive data is essential in many contexts, such as healthcare data, banks, e-commerce, wireless sensor networks, and social networks. It is common that different entities coordinate or want to rely on a third party to…
In this paper, we study local information privacy (LIP), and design LIP based mechanisms for statistical aggregation while protecting users' privacy without relying on a trusted third party. The notion of context-awareness is incorporated…
Nonlinear aggregation is central to modern distributed systems, yet its privacy behavior is far less understood than that of linear aggregation. Unlike linear aggregation where mature mechanisms can often suppress information leakage,…

Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is popularly used in practice for privacy-preserving data collection. Although existing LDP protocols offer high utility for large user populations (100,000 or more users), they perform poorly in scenarios…
Differential privacy provides the first theoretical foundation with provable privacy guarantee against adversaries with arbitrary prior knowledge. The main idea to achieve differential privacy is to inject random noise into statistical…

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…
Recent privacy research on large language models (LLMs) has shown that they achieve near-human-level performance at inferring personal data from online texts. With ever-increasing model capabilities, existing text anonymization methods are…
Networked system often relies on distributed algorithms to achieve a global computation goal with iterative local information exchanges between neighbor nodes. To preserve data privacy, a node may add a random noise to its original data for…
Privacy is a fundamental human right. Data privacy is protected by different regulations, such as GDPR. However, modern large language models require a huge amount of data to learn linguistic variations, and the data often contains private…
Numerical linear algebra plays an important role in computer science. In this paper, we initiate the study of performing linear algebraic tasks while preserving privacy when the data is streamed online. Our main focus is the space…
In this paper we demonstrate that, ignoring computational constraints, it is possible to privately release synthetic databases that are useful for large classes of queries -- much larger in size than the database itself. Specifically, we…
We propose a Neighbourhood-Aware Differential Privacy (NADP) mechanism considering the neighbourhood of a word in a pretrained static word embedding space to determine the minimal amount of noise required to guarantee a specified privacy…
This is a paper about private data analysis, in which a trusted curator holding a confidential database responds to real vector-valued queries. A common approach to ensuring privacy for the database elements is to add appropriately…
This paper proposes a locally differentially private federated learning algorithm for strongly convex but possibly nonsmooth problems that protects the gradients of each worker against an honest but curious server. The proposed algorithm…
