Cooperative decentralized learning relies on direct information exchange between communicating agents, each with access to locally available datasets. The goal is to agree on model parameters that are optimal over all data. However, sharing…
When training a machine learning model, it is standard procedure for the researcher to have full knowledge of both the data and model. However, this engenders a lack of trust between data owners and data scientists. Data owners are…
Machine learning (ML) models have been shown to leak private information from their training datasets. Differential Privacy (DP), typically implemented through the differential private stochastic gradient descent algorithm (DP-SGD), has…
Local Differential Privacy (LDP) is the gold standard trust model for privacy-preserving machine learning by guaranteeing privacy at the data source. However, its application to image data has long been considered impractical due to the…
While differentially private synthetic data generation has been explored extensively in the literature, how to update this data in the future if the underlying private data changes is much less understood. We propose an algorithmic…
This work studies formal utility and privacy guarantees for a simple multiplicative database transformation, where the data are compressed by a random linear or affine transformation, reducing the number of data records substantially, while…
Global financial crime activity is driving demand for machine learning solutions in fraud prevention. However, prevention systems are commonly serviced to financial institutions in isolation, and few provisions exist for data sharing due to…
Differential privacy (DP) is the prevailing technique for protecting user data in machine learning models. However, deficits to this framework include a lack of clarity for selecting the privacy budget $\epsilon$ and a lack of…
The deployment of deep learning applications has to address the growing privacy concerns when using private and sensitive data for training. A conventional deep learning model is prone to privacy attacks that can recover the sensitive…
Linear regression is an important tool across many fields that work with sensitive human-sourced data. Significant prior work has focused on producing differentially private point estimates, which provide a privacy guarantee to individuals…
Data stewards and analysts can promote transparent and trustworthy science and policy-making by facilitating assessments of the sensitivity of published results to alternate analysis choices. For example, researchers may want to assess…
Differential privacy provides strong privacy guarantees simultaneously enabling useful insights from sensitive datasets. However, it provides the same level of protection for all elements (individuals and attributes) in the data. There are…
Deep learning techniques based on neural networks have shown significant success in a wide range of AI tasks. Large-scale training datasets are one of the critical factors for their success. However, when the training datasets are…
Federated learning promises to make machine learning feasible on distributed, private datasets by implementing gradient descent using secure aggregation methods. The idea is to compute a global weight update without revealing the…
Split learning (SL) aims to protect user data privacy by distributing deep models between client-server and keeping private data locally. Only processed or `smashed' data can be transmitted from the clients to the server during the SL…
Differential privacy (DP) is widely employed to provide privacy protection for individuals by limiting information leakage from the aggregated data. Two well-known models of DP are the central model and the local model. The former requires…
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…
Sketches are widely used for frequency estimation of data with a large domain. However, sketches-based frequency estimation faces more challenges when considering privacy. Local differential privacy (LDP) is a solution to frequency…
This paper focuses on the Private Linear Transformation (PLT) problem in the multi-server scenario. In this problem, there are $N$ servers, each of which stores an identical copy of a database consisting of $K$ independent messages, and…
With changes in privacy laws, there is often a hard requirement for client data to remain on the device rather than being sent to the server. Therefore, most processing happens on the device, and only an altered element is sent to the…
