We present SmartCrowd, a framework for optimizing collaborative knowledge-intensive crowdsourcing. SmartCrowd distinguishes itself by accounting for human factors in the process of assigning tasks to workers. Human factors designate…
Data fusion has played an important role in data mining because high-quality data is required in a lot of applications. As on-line data may be out-of-date and errors in the data may propagate with copying and referring between sources, it…
Many companies now use crowdsourcing to leverage external (as well as internal) crowds to perform specialized work, and so methods of improving efficiency are critical. Tasks in crowdsourcing systems with specialized work have multiple…
This paper investigates the privacy-preserving distributed optimization problem, aiming to protect agents' private information from potential attackers during the optimization process. Gradient tracking, an advanced technique for improving…
Private information retrieval (PIR) is a database query protocol that provides user privacy, in that the user can learn a particular entry of the database of his interest but his query would be hidden from the data centre. Symmetric private…
Private information retrieval (PIR) allows a user to retrieve a desired message out of $K$ possible messages from $N$ databases without revealing the identity of the desired message. Majority of existing works on PIR assume the presence of…
Protecting the privacy of keywords in the field of search over outsourced cloud data is a challenging task. In IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (Vol. 17 No. 2, March/April 2024), Li et al. proposed PRMKR: efficient privacy-preserving…
Crowdsourcing has gained popularity as a tool to harness human brain power to help solve problems that are difficult for computers. Previous work in crowdsourcing often assumes that workers complete crowdwork independently. In this paper,…
With the rapid development of Mobile Internet, spatial crowdsourcing is gaining more and more attention from both academia and industry. In spatial crowdsourcing, spatial tasks are sent to workers based on their locations. A wide kind of…
In private information delivery (PID) problem, there are $K$ messages stored across $N$ servers, each capable of storing $M$ messages and a user. Servers want to convey one of the $K$ messages to the user without revealing the identity…
In order to both learn and protect sensitive training data, there has been a growing interest in privacy preserving machine learning methods. Differential privacy has emerged as an important measure of privacy. We are interested in the…
There has been significant interest in crowdsourcing and human computation. One subclass of human computation applications are those directed at tasks that involve planning (e.g. travel planning) and scheduling (e.g. conference scheduling).…
Personalized recommendations form an important part of today's internet ecosystem, helping artists and creators to reach interested users, and helping users to discover new and engaging content. However, many users today are skeptical of…
The integration of AI into daily life has generated considerable attention and excitement, while also raising concerns about automating algorithmic harms and re-entrenching existing social inequities. While the responsible deployment of…
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…
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…
Smart devices with built-in sensors, computational capabilities, and network connectivity have become increasingly pervasive. The crowds of smart devices offer opportunities to collectively sense and perform computing tasks in an…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable progress in various real-world applications, especially when abundant training data are provided. However, data isolation has become a serious problem currently. Existing works build…
Personalized health analytics increasingly rely on population benchmarks to provide contextual insights such as ''How do I compare to others like me?'' However, cohort-based aggregation of health data introduces nontrivial privacy risks,…
Recent studies have shown that the labels collected from crowdworkers can be discriminatory with respect to sensitive attributes such as gender and race. This raises questions about the suitability of using crowdsourced data for further…
