Privacy is a well-understood concept in the physical world, with us all desiring some escape from the public gaze. However, while individuals might recognise locking doors as protecting privacy, they have difficulty practising equivalent…
The Advancing Data Justice Research and Practice project aims to broaden understanding of the social, historical, cultural, political, and economic forces that contribute to discrimination and inequity in contemporary ecologies of data…
Evaluating the usefulness of data before purchase is essential when obtaining data for high-quality machine learning models, yet both model builders and data providers are often unwilling to reveal their proprietary assets. We present…
Ensuring privacy during inference stage is crucial to prevent malicious third parties from reconstructing users' private inputs from outputs of public models. Despite a large body of literature on privacy preserving learning (which ensures…
This paper aims to bring together the disciplines of social science (SS) and computer science (CS) in the design and implementation of a novel multidisciplinary framework for systematic, transparent, ethically-informed, and bias-aware…
Data valuation aims to quantify the usefulness of individual data sources in training machine learning (ML) models, and is a critical aspect of data-centric ML research. However, data valuation faces significant yet frequently overlooked…
Traditional online safety technologies often overly restrict teens and invade their privacy, while parents often lack knowledge regarding their digital privacy. As such, prior researchers have called for more collaborative approaches on…
Protecting individual privacy is essential across research domains, from socio-economic surveys to big-tech user data. This need is particularly acute in healthcare, where analyses often involve sensitive patient information. A typical…
Rapid advances in human genomics are enabling researchers to gain a better understanding of the role of the genome in our health and well-being, stimulating hope for more effective and cost efficient healthcare. However, this also prompts a…
Mobile privacy and security can be a collaborative process where individuals seek advice and help from their trusted communities. To support such collective privacy and security management, we developed a mobile app for Community Oversight…
It is becoming increasingly clear that users should own and control their data. Utility providers are also becoming more interested in guaranteeing data privacy. As such, users and utility providers should collaborate in data privacy, a…
Privacy regulations such as the CCPA and GDPR grant individuals rights over their personal data, yet it remains challenging for most users to exercise them in practice due to vague policy interpretation and unapproachable settings on web…
