Based on differential privacy (DP) framework, we introduce and unify privacy definitions for the multi-armed bandit algorithms. We represent the framework with a unified graphical model and use it to connect privacy definitions. We derive…
Often we consider machine learning models or statistical analysis methods which we endeavour to alter, by introducing a randomized mechanism, to make the model conform to a differential privacy constraint. However, certain models can often…
This paper studies the multi-agent average consensus problem under the requirement of differential privacy of the agents' initial states against an adversary that has access to all the messages. We first establish that a differentially…
In this paper, we study the problem of (finite sum) minimax optimization in the Differential Privacy (DP) model. Unlike most of the previous studies on the (strongly) convex-concave settings or loss functions satisfying the…
In this work we consider the problem of online submodular maximization under a cardinality constraint with differential privacy (DP). A stream of $T$ submodular functions over a common finite ground set $U$ arrives online, and at each…
The integration of Differential Privacy (DP) with diffusion models (DMs) presents a promising yet challenging frontier, particularly due to the substantial memorization capabilities of DMs that pose significant privacy risks. Differential…
We study approval-based committee voting in which a target number of candidates are selected based on voters' approval preferences over candidates. In contrast to most of the work, we consider the setting where voters express uncertain…
Multiple-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a sub-discipline of Operations Research that helps decision-makers in choosing, ranking, or sorting alternatives based on conflicting criteria. Over time, its application has been expanded into…
We consider the problem of committee selection from a fixed set of candidates where each candidate has multiple quantifiable attributes. To select the best possible committee, instead of voting for a candidate, a voter is allowed to approve…
Differential Privacy (DP) provides strong guarantees on the risk of compromising a user's data in statistical learning applications, though these strong protections make learning challenging and may be too stringent for some use cases. To…
In distributed optimization and iterative consensus literature, a standard problem is for $N$ agents to minimize a function $f$ over a subset of Euclidean space, where the cost function is expressed as a sum $\sum f_i$. In this paper, we…
In this work, we study the task of estimating the numbers of distinct and $k$-occurring items in a time window under the constraint of differential privacy (DP). We consider several variants depending on whether the queries are on general…
Differential privacy (DP) is a privacy-enhancement technology (PET) that receives prominent attention from the academia, industry, and government. One main development over the past decade has been the decentralization of DP, including…
Recent developments in differentially private (DP) machine learning and DP Bayesian learning have enabled learning under strong privacy guarantees for the training data subjects. In this paper, we further extend the applicability of DP…
Differential privacy (DP) is applied when fine-tuning pre-trained large language models (LLMs) to limit leakage of training examples. While most DP research has focused on improving a model's privacy-utility tradeoff, some find that DP can…
Social choice is replete with various settings including single-winner voting, multi-winner voting, probabilistic voting, multiple referenda, and public decision making. We study a general model of social choice called Sub-Committee Voting…
We introduce a new differential privacy (DP) accountant called the saddle-point accountant (SPA). SPA approximates privacy guarantees for the composition of DP mechanisms in an accurate and fast manner. Our approach is inspired by the…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a widely adopted standard for privacy-preserving data analysis, but it assumes a uniform privacy budget across all records, limiting its applicability when privacy requirements vary with data values. Per-record…
Differential privacy (DP) has become a rigorous central concept for privacy protection in the past decade. We use Gaussian differential privacy (GDP) in gauging the level of privacy protection for releasing statistical summaries from data.…
The remarkable proliferation of deep learning across various industries has underscored the importance of data privacy and security in AI pipelines. As the evolution of sophisticated Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) threatens the secrecy…
