As an increasing amount of data is gathered nowadays and stored in databases (DBs), the question arises of how to protect the privacy of individual records in a DB even while providing accurate answers to queries on the DB. Differential…
We consider the problem of empirical risk minimization given a database, using the gradient descent algorithm. We note that the function to be optimized may be non-convex, consisting of saddle points which impede the convergence of the…
Large matrix multiplications are central to large-scale machine learning applications. These operations are often carried out on a distributed computing platform with a master server and multiple workers in the cloud operating in parallel.…
Machine learning is increasingly used in the most diverse applications and domains, whether in healthcare, to predict pathologies, or in the financial sector to detect fraud. One of the linchpins for efficiency and accuracy in machine…
Online collaborative medical prediction platforms offer convenience and real-time feedback by leveraging massive electronic health records. However, growing concerns about privacy and low prediction quality can deter patient participation…
Numerous generalization techniques have been proposed for privacy preserving data publishing. Most existing techniques, however, implicitly assume that the adversary knows little about the anonymization algorithm adopted by the data…
The advance of cloud computing and big data technologies brings out major changes in the ways that people make use of information systems. While those technologies extremely ease our lives, they impose the danger of compromising privacy and…
Personally identifiable information (PII) can find its way into cyberspace through various channels, and many potential sources can leak such information. Data sharing (e.g. cross-agency data sharing) for machine learning and analytics is…
Vast amounts of information of all types are collected daily about people by governments, corporations and individuals. The information is collected when users register to or use on-line applications, receive health related services, use…
The amount of personal data collected in our everyday interactions with connected devices offers great opportunities for innovative services fueled by machine learning, as well as raises serious concerns for the privacy of individuals. In…
Privacy-preserving data aggregation in ad hoc networks is a challenging problem, considering the distributed communication and control requirement, dynamic network topology, unreliable communication links, etc. Different from the widely…
With the rapid growth of Internet technologies, cloud computing and social networks have become ubiquitous. An increasing number of people participate in social networks and massive online social data are obtained. In order to exploit…
In the field of privacy protection, publishing complete data (especially high-dimensional data sets) is one of the most challenging problems. The common encryption technology can not deal with the attacker to take differential attack to…
In recent years, an increasing amount of data is collected in different and often, not cooperative, databases. The problem of privacy-preserving, distributed calculations over separated databases and, a relative to it, issue of private data…
In the differentially private partition selection problem (a.k.a. private set union, private key discovery), users hold subsets of items from an unbounded universe. The goal is to output as many items as possible from the union of the…
Among the most challenging traffic-analysis attacks to confound are those leveraging the sizes of objects downloaded over the network. In this paper we systematically analyze this problem under realistic constraints regarding the padding…
The rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things has intensified demand for robust privacy-preserving machine learning mechanisms to safeguard sensitive data generated by large-scale, heterogeneous, and resource-constrained devices. Unlike…
In Privacy Preserving Data Publishing, various privacy models have been developed for employing anonymization operations on sensitive individual level datasets, in order to publish the data for public access while preserving the privacy of…
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…
Decentralized optimization enables a network of agents to cooperatively optimize an overall objective function without a central coordinator and is gaining increased attention in domains as diverse as control, sensor networks, data mining,…
