Big data analysis poses the dual problem of privacy preservation and utility, i.e., how accurate data analyses remain after transforming original data in order to protect the privacy of the individuals that the data is about - and whether…
Despite several works that succeed in generating synthetic data with differential privacy (DP) guarantees, they are inadequate for generating high-quality synthetic data when the input data has missing values. In this work, we formalize the…
Privacy concerns have attracted increasing attention in data-driven products due to the tendency of machine learning models to memorize sensitive training data. Generating synthetic versions of such data with a formal privacy guarantee,…
Generative modeling has been used frequently in synthetic data generation. Fairness and privacy are two big concerns for synthetic data. Although Recent GAN [\cite{goodfellow2014generative}] based methods show good results in preserving…
Many data analysis operations can be expressed as a GROUP BY query on an unbounded set of partitions, followed by a per-partition aggregation. To make such a query differentially private, adding noise to each aggregation is not enough: we…
Access to genomic data is highly regulated due to its sensitive nature. While safeguards are essential, cumbersome data access processes pose a significant barrier to the development of AI methods for genomics. Synthetic data generation can…
