Aggregate time-series data like traffic flow and site occupancy repeatedly sample statistics from a population across time. Such data can be profoundly useful for understanding trends within a given population, but also pose a significant…

This paper proposes a new approach for privacy-preserving and verifiable convolutional neural network (CNN) testing, enabling a CNN model developer to convince a user of the truthful CNN performance over non-public data from multiple…

Generative models are increasingly used to produce privacy-preserving synthetic data as a safe alternative to sharing sensitive training datasets. However, we demonstrate that such synthetic releases can still leak information about the…

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) often appear in clusters along the length of a chromosome. This is due to variation in local coalescent times caused by,for example, selection or recombination. Here we investigate whether…

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…

Despite much progress over the past decade, current Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) genotyping technologies still offer an insufficient degree of multiplexing when required to handle user-selected sets of SNPs. In this paper we propose…

Privacy preservation is an important issue in today's context of extreme penetration of internet and mobile technologies. It is more important in the case of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) where collected data often requires in-network…

DNA sequencing has faced a huge demand since it was first introduced as a service to the public. This service is often offloaded to the sequencing companies who will have access to full knowledge of individuals' sequences, a major violation…

Power consumption data is very useful as it allows to optimize power grids, detect anomalies and prevent failures, on top of being useful for diverse research purposes. However, the use of power consumption data raises significant privacy…

Modern face recognition systems utilize deep neural networks to extract salient features from a face. These features denote embeddings in latent space and are often stored as templates in a face recognition system. These embeddings are…

We develop statistically based methods to detect single nucleotide DNA mutations in next generation sequencing data. Sequencing generates counts of the number of times each base was observed at hundreds of thousands to billions of genome…

With the reduction of sequencing costs and the pervasiveness of computing devices, genomic data collection is continually growing. However, data collection is highly fragmented and the data is still siloed across different repositories.…

Deep learning has become a cornerstone of modern machine learning. It relies heavily on vast datasets and significant computational resources for high performance. This data often contains sensitive information, making privacy a major…

Large genomic datasets are now created through numerous activities, including recreational genealogical investigations, biomedical research, and clinical care. At the same time, genomic data has become valuable for reuse beyond their…

Current techniques in sequencing a genome allow a service provider (e.g. a sequencing company) to have full access to the genome information, and thus the privacy of individuals regarding their lifetime secret is violated. In this paper, we…

After the completion of human genome sequence was anounced, it is evident that interpretation of DNA sequences is an immediate task to work on. For understanding their signals, improvement of present sequence analysis tools and developing…

Here we propose a test to detect effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a quantitative trait. Significant SNP-SNP interactions are more difficult to detect than significant SNPs, partly due to the massive amount of SNP-SNP…

In Near-Neighbor Search (NNS), a new client queries a database (held by a server) for the most similar data (near-neighbors) given a certain similarity metric. The Privacy-Preserving variant (PP-NNS) requires that neither server nor the…

In medical organizations large amount of personal data are collected and analyzed by the data miner or researcher, for further perusal. However, the data collected may contain sensitive information such as specific disease of a patient and…

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought considerable convenience, yet also introduces significant security risks. One of the research hotspots is to balance data privacy and utility in the real world of artificial…
