Differential Privacy (DP) formalizes privacy in mathematical terms and provides a robust concept for privacy protection. DIfferentially Private Data Synthesis (DIPS) techniques produce and release synthetic individual-level data in the DP…
The need to analyze sensitive data, such as medical records or financial data, has created a critical research challenge in recent years. In this paper, we adopt the framework of differential privacy, and explore mechanisms for generating…
Differential privacy (DP) is a widely used notion for reasoning about privacy when publishing aggregate data. In this paper, we observe that certain DP mechanisms are amenable to a posteriori privacy analysis that exploits the fact that…
In this paper, we describe our approach to achieve distributed differential privacy by sampling alone. Our mechanism works in the semi-honest setting (honest-but-curious whereby aggregators attempt to peek at the data though follow the…
In this paper we present the Sampling Privacy mechanism for privately releasing personal data. Sampling Privacy is a sampling based privacy mechanism that satisfies differential privacy.
Across many disciplines, causal inference often relies on randomized experiments with binary outcomes. In such experiments, the Fisher randomization test provides exact, assumption-free tests for causal effects. Sometimes the outcomes are…
Government agencies typically need to take potential risks of disclosure into account whenever they publish statistics based on their data or give external researchers access to collected data. In this context, the promise of formal privacy…
Differential privacy allows quantifying privacy loss resulting from accessing sensitive personal data. Repeated accesses to underlying data incur increasing loss. Releasing data as privacy-preserving synthetic data would avoid this…
Agencies, such as the U.S. Census Bureau, release data sets and statistics about groups of individuals that are used as input to a number of critical decision processes. To conform to privacy and confidentiality requirements, these agencies…
This paper aims at answering the following two questions in privacy-preserving data analysis and publishing: What formal privacy guarantee (if any) does $k$-anonymization provide? How to benefit from the adversary's uncertainty about the…
A major challenge for machine learning is increasing the availability of data while respecting the privacy of individuals. Here we combine the provable privacy guarantees of the differential privacy framework with the flexibility of…
Deep learning techniques based on neural networks have shown significant success in a wide range of AI tasks. Large-scale training datasets are one of the critical factors for their success. However, when the training datasets are…
To meet the standard of differential privacy, noise is usually added into the original data, which inevitably deteriorates the predicting performance of subsequent learning algorithms. In this paper, motivated by the success of improving…
Machine learning (ML) models have been shown to leak private information from their training datasets. Differential Privacy (DP), typically implemented through the differential private stochastic gradient descent algorithm (DP-SGD), has…
Privacy preservation has become a critical concern in high-dimensional data analysis due to the growing prevalence of data-driven applications. Since its proposal, sliced inverse regression has emerged as a widely utilized statistical…
Differential Privacy (DP) provides a rigorous framework for releasing statistics while protecting individual information present in a dataset. Although substantial progress has been made on differentially private linear regression, existing…
Releasing full data records is one of the most challenging problems in data privacy. On the one hand, many of the popular techniques such as data de-identification are problematic because of their dependence on the background knowledge of…
Differential privacy is known to protect against threats to validity incurred due to adaptive, or exploratory, data analysis -- even when the analyst adversarially searches for a statistical estimate that diverges from the true value of the…
The process of data mining with differential privacy produces results that are affected by two types of noise: sampling noise due to data collection and privacy noise that is designed to prevent the reconstruction of sensitive information.…
Differential privacy is often studied in one of two models. In the central model, a single analyzer has the responsibility of performing a privacy-preserving computation on data. But in the local model, each data owner ensures their own…
