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…
In this paper, we consider the $k$-approximate pattern matching problem under differential privacy, where the goal is to report or count all substrings of a given string $S$ which have a Hamming distance at most $k$ to a pattern $P$, or…
Prior work on differential privacy analysis of randomized SGD algorithms relies on composition theorems, where the implicit (unrealistic) assumption is that the internal state of the iterative algorithm is revealed to the adversary. As a…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a well-established framework to quantify privacy loss incurred by any algorithm. Traditional DP formulations impose a uniform privacy requirement for all users, which is often inconsistent with real-world…
In recent years, differential privacy has emerged as the de facto standard for sharing statistics of datasets while limiting the disclosure of private information about the involved individuals. This is achieved by randomly perturbing the…
Differential privacy is becoming a gold standard for privacy research; it offers a guaranteed bound on loss of privacy due to release of query results, even under worst-case assumptions. The theory of differential privacy is an active…
In this paper, we consider the problem of responding to a count query (or any other integer-valued queries) evaluated on a dataset containing sensitive attributes. To protect the privacy of individuals in the dataset, a standard practice is…
In the recent decades, the advance of information technology and abundant personal data facilitate the application of algorithmic personalized pricing. However, this leads to the growing concern of potential violation of privacy due to…
Streaming data, crucial for applications like crowdsourcing analytics, behavior studies, and real-time monitoring, faces significant privacy risks due to the large and diverse data linked to individuals. In particular, recent efforts to…
In this note, we consider the problem of differentially privately (DP) computing an anonymized histogram, which is defined as the multiset of counts of the input dataset (without bucket labels). In the low-privacy regime $\epsilon \geq 1$,…
We describe the first algorithms that satisfy the standard notion of node-differential privacy in the continual release setting (i.e., without an assumed promise on input streams). Previous work addresses node-private continual release by…
Accounting for privacy loss under fully adaptive composition -- where mechanism choice and privacy parameters may depend on the history of prior outputs -- is a central challenge in differential privacy (DP). Here, privacy filters are…
Process mining techniques enable organizations to analyze business process execution traces in order to identify opportunities for improving their operational performance. Oftentimes, such execution traces contain private information. For…
It is difficult to continually update private machine learning models with new data while maintaining privacy. Data incur increasing privacy loss -- as measured by differential privacy -- when they are used in repeated computations. In this…
Differential privacy is a cryptographically-motivated definition of privacy which has gained significant attention over the past few years. Differentially private solutions enforce privacy by adding random noise to a function computed over…
We give a fast algorithm to optimally compose privacy guarantees of differentially private (DP) algorithms to arbitrary accuracy. Our method is based on the notion of privacy loss random variables to quantify the privacy loss of DP…
Gaussian differential privacy (GDP) is a single-parameter family of privacy notions that provides coherent guarantees to avoid the exposure of sensitive individual information. Despite the extra interpretability and tighter bounds under…
A new line of work, started with Dwork et al., studies the task of answering statistical queries using a sample and relates the problem to the concept of differential privacy. By the Hoeffding bound, a sample of size $O(\log k/\alpha^2)$…
Traditional approaches to differential privacy assume a fixed privacy requirement $\epsilon$ for a computation, and attempt to maximize the accuracy of the computation subject to the privacy constraint. As differential privacy is…
Process mining employs event data extracted from different types of information systems to discover and analyze actual processes. Event data often contain highly sensitive information about the people who carry out activities or the people…
