In recent years the amount of digital data in the world has risen immensely. But, the more information exists, the greater is the possibility of its unwanted disclosure. Thus, the data privacy protection has become a pressing problem of the…
De-identification is the task of detecting protected health information (PHI) in medical text. It is a critical step in sanitizing electronic health records (EHRs) to be shared for research. Automatic de-identification classifierscan…
For long time, person re-identification and image search are two separately studied tasks. However, for person re-identification, the effectiveness of local features and the "query-search" mode make it well posed for image search…
Person re-identification is a critical security task for recognizing a person across spatially disjoint sensors. Previous work can be computationally intensive and is mainly based on low-level cues extracted from RGB data and implemented on…
Algorithms and technologies are essential tools that pervade all aspects of our daily lives. In the last decades, health care research benefited from new computer-based recruiting methods, the use of federated architectures for data…
Free-text clinical notes detail all aspects of patient care and have great potential to facilitate quality improvement and assurance initiatives as well as advance clinical research. However, concerns about patient privacy and…
Background: More than half (57%) of pharma clinical research spend is in support of clinical trials. One reason is that Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and HIPAA privacy rules often limit how broadly patient information can be…
We outline the constraints faced by operators when deciding to share de-identified data with researchers or policy makers. We describe a conservative approach that we have taken to harness the value of CDRs for infectious disease…
With the rapid development of computer software and hardware technologies, more and more healthcare data are becoming readily available from clinical institutions, patients, insurance companies and pharmaceutical industries, among others.…
The prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) has envisioned an era of healthcare democratisation that promises every stakeholder a new and better way of life. However, the advancement of clinical AI research is significantly hurdled by…
Recent research advances achieve human-level accuracy for de-identifying free-text clinical notes on research datasets, but gaps remain in reproducing this in large real-world settings. This paper summarizes lessons learned from building a…
Biosensed information represents an emerging class of data with the potential for massive, systematic, and remote or casual collection of personal information about people. Biosensors capture physiological signals in addition to kinesthetic…
This paper investigates the dependence of existing state-of-the-art person re-identification models on the presence and visibility of human faces. We apply a face detection and blurring algorithm to create anonymized versions of several…
Machine Learning on Big Data gets more and more attention in various fields. Even so privacy-preserving techniques become more important, even necessary due to legal regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). On the…
Driven by advancements in deep learning, computer-aided diagnoses have made remarkable progress. However, outside controlled laboratory settings, algorithms may encounter several challenges. In the medical domain, these difficulties often…
Objectives; The accumulation and usefulness of clinical data have increased with IT development. While using clinical data that needs to be identifiable to obtain meaningful information, it is essential to ensure that data is de-identified…
Identity disclosure of an individual from a released data is a matter of concern especially if it belongs to a category with low frequency in the data-set. Nayak et al. (2016) discussed this problem vividly in a census report and suggested…
In recent years, it has been claimed that releasing accurate statistical information on a database is likely to allow its complete reconstruction. Differential privacy has been suggested as the appropriate methodology to prevent these…
Person re-identification (re-ID) has become increasingly popular in the community due to its application and research significance. It aims at spotting a person of interest in other cameras. In the early days, hand-crafted algorithms and…
In this paper we consider the problem of anonymizing datasets in which each individual is associated with a set of items that constitute private information about the individual. Illustrative datasets include market-basket datasets and…
