This work delves into the complexities of machine unlearning in the face of distributional shifts, particularly focusing on the challenges posed by non-uniform feature and label removal. With the advent of regulations like the GDPR…
The amount and dissemination rate of media content accessible online is nowadays overwhelming. Recommender Systems filter this information into manageable streams or feeds, adapted to our personal needs or preferences. It is of utter…
We propose a generalized Sparse Representation- based Classification (SRC) algorithm for open set recognition where not all classes presented during testing are known during training. The SRC algorithm uses class reconstruction errors for…
Most proposed algorithmic fairness techniques require access to data on a "sensitive attribute" or "protected category" (such as race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality) in order to make performance comparisons and standardizations across…
Differentially private (DP) mechanisms are difficult to interpret and calibrate because existing methods for mapping standard privacy parameters to concrete privacy risks -- re-identification, attribute inference, and data reconstruction --…
Thanks to the advances in machine learning, data-driven analysis tools have become valuable solutions for various applications. However, there still remain essential challenges to develop effective data-driven methods because of the need to…
Decentralized learning over distributed datasets can have significantly different data distributions across the agents. The current state-of-the-art decentralized algorithms mostly assume the data distributions to be Independent and…
This paper establishes the privacy-preserving Cram\'er-Rao (CR) lower bound theory, characterizing the fundamental limit of identification accuracy under privacy constraint. An identifiability criterion under privacy constraint is derived…
The use of formal privacy to protect the confidentiality of responses in the 2020 Decennial Census of Population and Housing has triggered renewed interest and debate over how to measure the disclosure risks and societal benefits of the…
Patient-controlled data-sharing systems are increasingly promoted as a way to empower patients with greater autonomy over their health data. Yet it remains unclear how different stakeholders, especially patients and health system leaders,…
Blind source separation algorithms such as independent component analysis (ICA) are widely used in the analysis of neuroimaging data. In order to leverage larger sample sizes, different data holders/sites may wish to collaboratively learn…
Scientific collaborations benefit from collaborative learning of distributed sources, but remain difficult to achieve when data are sensitive. In recent years, privacy preserving techniques have been widely studied to analyze distributed…
(Withdrawn) Collaborative security initiatives are increasingly often advocated to improve timeliness and effectiveness of threat mitigation. Among these, collaborative predictive blacklisting (CPB) aims to forecast attack sources based on…
Computing the principal component (PC) of the adjacency matrix of an undirected graph has several applications ranging from identifying key vertices for influence maximization and controlling diffusion processes, to discovering densely…
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…
Users worldwide access massive amounts of curated data in the form of rankings on a daily basis. The societal impact of this ease of access has been studied and work has been done to propose and enforce various notions of fairness in…
Motivation: Identifying interaction clusters of large gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is critical for its further investigation, while this task is very challenging, attributed to data noise in experiment data, large scale of GRNs, and…
Differential privacy (DP) has become the de facto standard for protecting sensitive data, providing strong guarantees that published statistics or models reveal limited information about any individual. However, privacy noise and restricted…
The DESERE Workshop, our First Workshop on Decentralised Search and Recommendation, offers a platform for researchers to explore and share innovative ideas on decentralised web services, mainly focusing on three major topics: (i) societal…
Data-centric technologies provide exciting opportunities, but recent research has shown how lack of representation in datasets, often as a result of systemic inequities and socioeconomic disparities, can produce inequitable outcomes that…
