Recent smart grid advancements enable near-realtime reporting of electricity consumption, raising concerns about consumer privacy. Differential privacy (DP) has emerged as a viable privacy solution, where a calculated amount of noise is…
Federated heavy hitter analytics enables service providers to better understand the preferences of cross-party users by analyzing the most frequent items. As with federated learning, it faces challenges of privacy concerns, statistical…
Local differential privacy~(LDP) is an information-theoretic privacy definition suitable for statistical surveys that involve an untrusted data curator. An LDP version of quasi-maximum likelihood estimator~(QMLE) has been developed, but the…
Distributed data analysis is a large and growing field driven by a massive proliferation of user devices, and by privacy concerns surrounding the centralised storage of data. We consider two \emph{adaptive} algorithms for estimating one…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) protocols enable an untrusted data collector to perform privacy-preserving data analytics. In particular, each user locally perturbs its data to preserve privacy before sending it to the data collector, who…
Local differential privacy (LDP) has become a central topic in data privacy research, offering strong privacy guarantees by perturbing user data at the source and removing the need for a trusted curator. However, the noise introduced by LDP…
The rapid growth of smart devices such as phones, wearables, IoT sensors, and connected vehicles has led to an explosion of continuous time series data that offers valuable insights in healthcare, transportation, and more. However, this…
Locally Differentially Private (LDP) Reports are commonly used for collection of statistics and machine learning in the federated setting. In many cases the best known LDP algorithms require sending prohibitively large messages from the…
The collection of individuals' data has become commonplace in many industries. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers a rigorous approach to preserving privacy whereby the individual privatises their data locally, allowing only their…
We introduce FDApy, an open-source Python package for the analysis of functional data. The package provides tools for the representation of (multivariate) functional data defined on different dimensional domains and for functional data that…
Differential Privacy (DP) has become a gold standard in privacy-preserving data analysis. While it provides one of the most rigorous notions of privacy, there are many settings where its applicability is limited. Our main contribution is in…
We study person-level differentially private (DP) mean estimation in the case where each person holds multiple samples. DP here requires the usual notion of distributional stability when $\textit{all}$ of a person's datapoints can be…
An algorithm is developed to gradually relax the Differential Privacy (DP) guarantee of a randomized response. The output from each relaxation maintains the same probability distribution as a standard randomized response with the equivalent…
DADApy is a python software package for analysing and characterising high-dimensional data manifolds. It provides methods for estimating the intrinsic dimension and the probability density, for performing density-based clustering and for…
Local differential privacy (LDP) is a strong privacy standard that has been adopted by popular software systems. The main idea is that each individual perturbs their own data locally, and only submits the resulting noisy version to a data…
High-dimensional crowdsourced data collected from a large number of users produces rich knowledge for our society. However, it also brings unprecedented privacy threats to participants. Local privacy, a variant of differential privacy, is…
Streaming data collection is essential to real-time data analytics in various IoTs and mobile device-based systems, which, however, may expose end users' privacy. Local differential privacy (LDP) is a promising solution to…
Automated decision systems are increasingly used to make consequential decisions in people's lives. Due to the sensitivity of the manipulated data as well as the resulting decisions, several ethical concerns need to be addressed for the…
Item mining, a fundamental task for collecting statistical data from users, has raised increasing privacy concerns. To address these concerns, local differential privacy (LDP) was proposed as a privacy-preserving technique. Existing LDP…
Differential Privacy (DP) is commonly employed to safeguard graph analysis or publishing. Distance, a critical factor in graph analysis, is typically handled using curator DP, where a trusted curator holds the complete neighbor lists of all…
