Differential privacy is a mathematical framework for privacy-preserving data analysis. Changing the hyperparameters of a differentially private algorithm allows one to trade off privacy and utility in a principled way. Quantifying this…
Data holders are increasingly seeking to protect their user's privacy, whilst still maximizing their ability to produce machine models with high quality predictions. In this work, we empirically evaluate various implementations of…
When collecting information, local differential privacy (LDP) alleviates privacy concerns of users because their private information is randomized before being sent it to the central aggregator. LDP imposes large amount of noise as each…
Ensuring privacy of sensitive data is essential in many contexts, such as healthcare data, banks, e-commerce, wireless sensor networks, and social networks. It is common that different entities coordinate or want to rely on a third party to…
Differential privacy (DP) defines privacy protection by promising quantified indistinguishability between individuals that consent to share their privacy-sensitive information and the ones that do not. DP aims to deliver this promise by…
How can agents exchange information to learn while protecting privacy? Healthcare centers collaborating on clinical trials must balance knowledge sharing with safeguarding sensitive patient data. We address this challenge by using…
Motivated by understanding the dynamics of sensitive social networks over time, we consider the problem of continual release of statistics in a network that arrives online, while preserving privacy of its participants. For our privacy…
Privacy risks in differentially private (DP) systems increase significantly when data is correlated, as standard DP metrics often underestimate the resulting privacy leakage, leaving sensitive information vulnerable. Given the ubiquity of…
Among existing privacy-preserving approaches, Differential Privacy (DP) is a powerful tool that can provide privacy-preserving noisy query answers over statistical databases and has been widely adopted in many practical fields. In…

Privacy-preserving data splitting is a technique that aims to protect data privacy by storing different fragments of data in different locations. In this work we give a new combinatorial formulation to the data splitting problem. We see the…
Local differential privacy has recently surfaced as a strong measure of privacy in contexts where personal information remains private even from data analysts. Working in a setting where both the data providers and data analysts want to…
We propose a novel problem formulation to address the privacy-utility tradeoff, specifically when dealing with two distinct user groups characterized by unique sets of private and utility attributes. Unlike previous studies that primarily…
Motivation: Cutting the cost of DNA sequencing technology led to a quantum leap in the availability of genomic data. While sharing genomic data across researchers is an essential driver of advances in health and biomedical research, the…
Surveys are an important tool for many areas of social science research, but privacy concerns can complicate the collection and analysis of survey data. Differentially private analyses of survey data can address these concerns, but at the…
Existing large-scale optimization schemes are challenged by both scalability and cyber-security. With the favorable scalability, adaptability, and flexibility, decentralized and distributed optimization paradigms are widely adopted in…
Differential Privacy (DP) has emerged as a pivotal approach for safeguarding individual privacy in data analysis, yet its practical adoption is often hindered by challenges in the implementation and communication of DP. This paper presents…
We consider a refinement of differential privacy --- per instance differential privacy (pDP), which captures the privacy of a specific individual with respect to a fixed data set. We show that this is a strict generalization of the standard…
Differential Privacy (DP) provides strong guarantees on the risk of compromising a user's data in statistical learning applications, though these strong protections make learning challenging and may be too stringent for some use cases. To…
Differential privacy (DP) is the standard for privacy-preserving analysis, and introduces a fundamental trade-off between privacy guarantees and model performance. Selecting the optimal balance is a critical challenge that can be framed as…
