Ensuring the effectiveness of search queries while protecting user privacy remains an open issue. When an Information Retrieval System (IRS) does not protect the privacy of its users, sensitive information may be disclosed through the…
A critically important component of most signal processing procedures is that of computing the distance between signals. In multi-party processing applications where these signals belong to different parties, this introduces privacy…
In the modern era of computing, machine learning tools have demonstrated their potential in vital sectors, such as healthcare and finance, to derive proper inferences. The sensitive and confidential nature of the data in such sectors raises…
Nowadays, large language models (LLMs) have been integrated with conventional recommendation models to improve recommendation performance. However, while most of the existing works have focused on improving the model performance, the…
Recently, a novel class of incentive mechanisms is proposed to attract extensive users to truthfully participate in crowd sensing applications with a given budget constraint. The class mechanisms also bring good service quality for the…
The emergence of cloud computing provides a new computing paradigm for users -- massive and complex computing tasks can be outsourced to cloud servers. However, the privacy issues also follow. Fully homomorphic encryption shows great…
An increasing number of companies have begun providing services that leverage cloud-based large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT. However, this development raises substantial privacy concerns, as users' prompts are transmitted to and…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a promising technique for applying LLMs to proprietary domains. However, retrieved documents may contain sensitive knowledge, posing risks of privacy leakage in generative results. Thus, effectively…
Data privacy is a central concern in many applications involving ranking from incomplete and noisy pairwise comparisons, such as recommendation systems, educational assessments, and opinion surveys on sensitive topics. In this work, we…
Privacy-preserving data splitting is a technique that aims to protect data privacy by storing different fragments of data in different locations. In this work we give a new combinatorial formulation to the data splitting problem. We see the…
The adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) has revolutionized AI applications but poses significant challenges in safeguarding user privacy. Ensuring compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA while addressing nuanced…
Protecting privacy is essential when sharing data, particularly in the case of an online radicalization dataset that may contain personal information. In this paper, we explore the balance between preserving data usefulness and ensuring…
The rapid growth of Large Language Models (LLMs) has highlighted the pressing need for reliable mechanisms to verify content ownership and ensure traceability. Watermarking offers a promising path forward, but it remains limited by privacy…
Mining the spatial and temporal correlation of wind farm output data is beneficial for enhancing the precision of ultra-short-term wind power prediction. However, if the wind farms are owned by separate entities, they may be reluctant to…
The demand for processing vast volumes of data has surged dramatically due to the advancement of machine learning technology. Large-scale data processing necessitates substantial computational resources, prompting individuals and…
Although distributed Gaussian process regression (GPR) enables multiple agents with separate datasets to jointly learn a model of the target function, its collaborative nature poses risks of private data leakage. To address this, we propose…
There is a growing need to gain insight into language model capabilities that relate to sensitive topics, such as bioterrorism or cyberwarfare. However, traditional open source benchmarks are not fit for the task, due to the associated…
Since the advent of software defined networks ({SDN}), there have been many attempts to outsource the complex and costly local network functionality, i.e. the middlebox, to the cloud in the same way as outsourcing computation and storage.…
Motivated by tensions between data privacy for individual citizens, and societal priorities such as counterterrorism and the containment of infectious disease, we introduce a computational model that distinguishes between parties for whom…
This work considers the problem of privately outsourcing the computation of a matrix product over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ to $N$ helper servers. These servers are considered to be honest but curious, i.e., they behave according to the…
