Empirical auditing has emerged as a means of catching some of the flaws in the implementation of privacy-preserving algorithms. Existing auditing mechanisms, however, are either computationally inefficient requiring multiple runs of the…
We consider a database $\vec{X} = (X_1,\cdots,X_n)$ containing the data of $n$ users. The data aggregator wants to publicise the database, but wishes to sanitise the dataset to hide sensitive data $S_i$ correlated to $X_i$. This setting is…
Privacy-preserving releasing of complex data (e.g., image, text, audio) represents a long-standing challenge for the data mining research community. Due to rich semantics of the data and lack of a priori knowledge about the analysis task,…
Applying machine learning (ML) to sensitive domains requires privacy protection of the underlying training data through formal privacy frameworks, such as differential privacy (DP). Yet, usually, the privacy of the training data comes at…
