We present a method for generating synthetic versions of Twitter data using neural generative models. The goal is protecting individuals in the source data from stylometric re-identification attacks while still releasing data that carries…
In the scenario of the Voice Privacy challenge, anonymization is achieved by converting all utterances from a source speaker to match the same target identity; this identity being randomly selected. In this context, an attacker with maximum…
Data generalization is a powerful technique for sanitizing multi-attribute data for publication. In a multidimensional model, a subset of attributes called the quasi-identifiers (QI) are used to define the space and a generalization scheme…
Information hiding is the process of embedding data within another form of data, often to conceal its existence or prevent unauthorized access. This process is commonly used in various forms of secure communications (steganography) that can…
Voice input has been tremendously improving the user experience of mobile devices by freeing our hands from typing on the small screen. Speech recognition is the key technology that powers voice input, and it is usually outsourced to the…
Images convey a broad spectrum of personal information. If such images are shared on social media platforms, this personal information is leaked which conflicts with the privacy of depicted persons. Therefore, we aim for automated…
Skeleton-based action recognition attracts practitioners and researchers due to the lightweight, compact nature of datasets. Compared with RGB-video-based action recognition, skeleton-based action recognition is a safer way to protect the…
The VoicePrivacy Challenge promotes the development of voice anonymisation solutions for speech technology. In this paper we present a systematic overview and analysis of the second edition held in 2022. We describe the voice anonymisation…
A large fraction of textual data available today contains various types of 'noise', such as OCR noise in digitized documents, noise due to informal writing style of users on microblogging sites, and so on. To enable tasks such as…
We present results and analyses from the third VoicePrivacy Challenge held in 2024, which focuses on advancing voice anonymization technologies. The task was to develop a voice anonymization system for speech data that conceals a speaker's…
There are currently two approaches to anonymization: "utility first" (use an anonymization method with suitable utility features, then empirically evaluate the disclosure risk and, if necessary, reduce the risk by possibly sacrificing some…
This work proposes a novel privacy-preserving neural network feature representation to suppress the sensitive information of a learned space while maintaining the utility of the data. The new international regulation for personal data…
Clinical free-text data offers immense potential to improve population health research such as richer phenotyping, symptom tracking, and contextual understanding of patient care. However, these data present significant privacy risks due to…
The increasing prevalence of computer vision applications necessitates handling vast amounts of visual data, often containing personal information. While this technology offers significant benefits, it should not compromise privacy. Data…
In online social networks (OSN), users quite usually disclose sensitive information about themselves by publishing messages. At the same time, they are (in many cases) unable to properly manage the access to this sensitive information due…
An unsolved challenge in distributed or federated learning is to effectively mitigate privacy risks without slowing down training or reducing accuracy. In this paper, we propose TextHide aiming at addressing this challenge for natural…
Text Categorization is the task of automatically sorting a set of documents into categories from a predefined set and Text Summarization is a brief and accurate representation of input text such that the output covers the most important…
Publishing physical activity data can facilitate reproducible health-care research in several areas such as population health management, behavioral health research, and management of chronic health problems. However, publishing such data…
In the Open Data approach, governments and other public organisations want to share their datasets with the public, for accountability and to support participation. Data must be opened in such a way that individual privacy is safeguarded.…
Privacy and security are major concerns when communicating speech signals to cloud services such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech emotion recognition (SER). Existing solutions for speech anonymization mainly focus on voice…
