As machine learning (ML) becomes more prevalent in human-centric applications, there is a growing emphasis on algorithmic fairness and privacy protection. While previous research has explored these areas as separate objectives, there is a…
We consider the problem of publicly releasing a dataset for support vector machine classification while not infringing on the privacy of data subjects (i.e., individuals whose private information is stored in the dataset). The dataset is…
The objective of machine learning is to extract useful information from data, while privacy is preserved by concealing information. Thus it seems hard to reconcile these competing interests. However, they frequently must be balanced when…
Differential privacy (DP) is an essential technique for privacy-preserving. It was found that a large model trained for privacy preserving performs worse than a smaller model (e.g. ResNet50 performs worse than ResNet18). To better…

Privacy is a crucial concern in collaborative machine vision where a part of a Deep Neural network (DNN) model runs on the edge, and the rest is executed on the cloud. In such applications, the machine vision model does not need the exact…
