Collecting and analyzing massive data generated from smart devices have become increasingly pervasive in crowdsensing, which are the building blocks for data-driven decision-making. However, extensive statistics and analysis of such data…
Differential Privacy (DP) is the current gold-standard for ensuring privacy for statistical queries. Estimation problems under DP constraints appearing in the literature have largely focused on providing equal privacy to all users. We…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a family of definitions that bound the worst-case privacy leakage of a mechanism. One important feature of the worst-case DP guarantee is it naturally implies protections against adversaries with less prior…
The increasing availability of personal data has enabled significant advances in fields such as machine learning, healthcare, and cybersecurity. However, this data abundance also raises serious privacy concerns, especially in light of…
How can agents exchange information to learn while protecting privacy? Healthcare centers collaborating on clinical trials must balance knowledge sharing with safeguarding sensitive patient data. We address this challenge by using…
Differential Privacy (DP) is a formal definition of privacy that provides rigorous guarantees against risks of privacy breaches during data processing. It makes no assumptions about the knowledge or computational power of adversaries, and…
Differential privacy (DP) has become the de facto standard of privacy preservation due to its strong protection and sound mathematical foundation, which is widely adopted in different applications such as big data analysis, graph data…
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…
Pointwise maximal leakage (PML) is a per-outcome privacy measure based on threat models from quantitative information flow. Privacy guarantees with PML rely on knowledge about the distribution that generated the private data. In this work,…
We review the use of differential privacy (DP) for privacy protection in machine learning (ML). We show that, driven by the aim of preserving the accuracy of the learned models, DP-based ML implementations are so loose that they do not…
Data streams collected from multiple sources are rarely independent. Values evolve over time and influence one another across sequences. These correlations improve prediction in healthcare, finance, and smart-city control yet violate the…
To resolve the acute problem of privacy protection and guarantee that data can be used in the context of threat intelligence, this paper considers the implementation of Differential Privacy (DP) in cybersecurity analytics. DP, which is a…
Differential Privacy (DP) is an important privacy-enhancing technology for private machine learning systems. It allows to measure and bound the risk associated with an individual participation in a computation. However, it was recently…
Differential Privacy (DP) has emerged as a robust framework for privacy-preserving data releases and has been successfully applied in high-profile cases, such as the 2020 US Census. However, in organizational settings, the use of DP remains…
Pointwise maximal leakage (PML) is an operationally meaningful privacy measure that quantifies the amount of information leaking about a secret $X$ to a single outcome of a related random variable $Y$. In this paper, we extend the notion of…
Differential privacy (DP) is a key technique for protecting sensitive patient data in medical deep learning (DL). As clinical models grow more data-dependent, balancing privacy with utility and fairness has become a critical challenge. This…
Distance Metric Learning (DML) has drawn much attention over the last two decades. A number of previous works have shown that it performs well in measuring the similarities of individuals given a set of correctly labeled pairwise data by…
Standard differential privacy imposes uniform privacy constraints across all features, overlooking the inherent distinction between sensitive and insensitive features in practice. In this paper, we introduce a relaxed definition of…
Private and public organizations regularly collect and analyze digitalized data about their associates, volunteers, clients, etc. However, because most personal data are sensitive, there is a key challenge in designing privacy-preserving…
As the use of differential privacy (DP) becomes widespread, the development of effective tools for reasoning about the privacy guarantee becomes increasingly critical. In pursuit of this goal, we demonstrate novel relationships between DP…
