The fundamental trade-off between privacy and utility remains an active area of research. Our contribution is motivated by two observations. First, privacy mechanisms developed for one-time data release cannot straightforwardly be extended…
Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) is widely utilized in real-world applications to enable collaborative learning while protecting data privacy and safety. However, previous works show that parties without labels (passive parties) in VFL can…
QoS-based Web service recommendation has recently gained much attention for providing a promising way to help users find high-quality services. To facilitate such recommendations, existing studies suggest the use of collaborative filtering…
Data obfuscation deals with the problem of masking a data-set in such a way that the utility of the data is maximized while minimizing the risk of the disclosure of sensitive information. To protect data we address some ways that may as…
With the growing use of camera devices, the industry has many image datasets that provide more opportunities for collaboration between the machine learning community and industry. However, the sensitive information in the datasets…
The canonical challenge of entity resolution within high-compliance sectors, where secure identity reconciliation is frequently confounded by significant data heterogeneity, including syntactic variations in personal identifiers, is a…
The popularity of online social media platforms provides an unprecedented opportunity to study real-world complex networks of interactions. However, releasing this data to researchers and the public comes at the cost of potentially exposing…
Distributed data analysis without revealing the individual data has recently attracted significant attention in several applications. A collaborative data analysis through sharing dimensionality reduced representations of data has been…
Privacy-preserving machine learning enables the training of models on decentralized datasets without the need to reveal the data, both on horizontal and vertically partitioned data. However, it relies on specialized techniques and…
Facial recognition technologies are implemented in many areas, including but not limited to, citizen surveillance, crime control, activity monitoring, and facial expression evaluation. However, processing biometric information is a…
Spontaneous reporting systems (SRS) have been developed to collect adverse event records that contain personal demographics and sensitive information like drug indications and adverse reactions. The release of SRS data may disclose the…
Existing methods of providing data anonymity preserve individual privacy, but, the task of protecting respondent groups' information in publicly available datasets remains open. Group anonymity lies in hiding (masking) data patterns that…
Deidentification seeks to anonymize textual data prior to distribution. Automatic deidentification primarily uses supervised named entity recognition from human-labeled data points. We propose an unsupervised deidentification method that…
With the rise of cameras and smart sensors, humanity generates an exponential amount of data. This valuable information, including underrepresented cases like AI in medical settings, can fuel new deep-learning tools. However, data…
A growing framework of legal and ethical requirements limit scientific and commercial evalua-tion of personal data. Typically, pseudonymization, encryption, or methods of distributed com-puting try to protect individual privacy. However,…
Administrative databases, such as the English School Census (ESC), are rich sources of information that are potentially useful for researchers. For such data sources to be made available, however, strict guarantees of privacy would be…
In this work, we propose a novel architecture (and several variants thereof) based on quantum cryptographic primitives with provable privacy and security guarantees regarding membership inference attacks on generative models. Our…
A privacy-preserving Support Vector Machine (SVM) computing scheme is proposed in this paper. Cloud computing has been spreading in many fields. However, the cloud computing has some serious issues for end users, such as unauthorized use…
Data controllers manage immense data, and occasionally, it is released publically to help the researchers to conduct their studies. However, this publically shared data may hold personally identifiable information (PII) that can be…
The problem of the release of anonymized microdata is an important topic in the fields of statistical disclosure control (SDC) and privacy preserving data publishing (PPDP), and yet it remains sufficiently unsolved. In these research…
