Everyday, large amounts of sensitive data is distributed across mobile phones, wearable devices, and other sensors. Traditionally, these enormous datasets have been processed on a single system, with complex models being trained to make…

Distributed learning such as federated learning or collaborative learning enables model training on decentralized data from users and only collects local gradients, where data is processed close to its sources for data privacy. The nature…

With the increasing demands for privacy protection, privacy-preserving machine learning has been drawing much attention in both academia and industry. However, most existing methods have their limitations in practical applications. On the…

With changes in privacy laws, there is often a hard requirement for client data to remain on the device rather than being sent to the server. Therefore, most processing happens on the device, and only an altered element is sent to the…

The increasing deployment of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices has accelerated the use of distributed learning frameworks, where data remains local while model updates are shared across decentralized systems. Although this reduces…

We study how inherent randomness in the training process -- where each sample (or client in federated learning) contributes only to a randomly selected portion of training -- can be leveraged for privacy amplification. This includes (1)…

Gaussian processes (GPs) are non-parametric Bayesian models that are widely used for diverse prediction tasks. Previous work in adding strong privacy protection to GPs via differential privacy (DP) has been limited to protecting only the…

The proliferation of deep learning applications in healthcare calls for data aggregation across various institutions, a practice often associated with significant privacy concerns. This concern intensifies in medical image analysis, where…

Federated learning has been proposed as a privacy-preserving machine learning framework that enables multiple clients to collaborate without sharing raw data. However, client privacy protection is not guaranteed by design in this framework.…

Imbalanced learning occurs in classification settings where the distribution of class-labels is highly skewed in the training data, such as when predicting rare diseases or in fraud detection. This class imbalance presents a significant…

We describe Bayesian inference for the parameters of Gaussian models of bounded data protected by differential privacy. Using this setting, we demonstrate that analysts can and should take constraints imposed by the bounds into account when…

Differential privacy has gained popularity in machine learning as a strong privacy guarantee, in contrast to privacy mitigation techniques such as k-anonymity. However, applying differential privacy to n-gram counts significantly degrades…

We consider the critical problem of distributed learning over data while keeping it private from the computational servers. The state-of-the-art approaches to this problem rely on quantizing the data into a finite field, so that the…

A common approach of system identification and machine learning is to generate a model by using training data to predict the test data instances as accurate as possible. Nonetheless, concerns about data privacy are increasingly raised, but…

Federated learning is an established method for training machine learning models without sharing training data. However, recent work has shown that it cannot guarantee data privacy as shared gradients can still leak sensitive information.…

The increased use of differential privacy (DP) has allowed the sharing of large amounts of data while reducing the risk of disclosure of sensitive information at the individual level. However, the noise introduced by DP methods makes…

One of the big challenges in machine learning applications is that training data can be different from the real-world data faced by the algorithm. In language modeling, users' language (e.g. in private messaging) could change in a year and…
