In recent years, local differential privacy (LDP) has emerged as a technique of choice for privacy-preserving data collection in several scenarios when the aggregator is not trustworthy. LDP provides client-side privacy by adding noise at…
Differentially-private mechanisms for text generation typically add carefully calibrated noise to input words and use the nearest neighbor to the noised input as the output word. When the noise is small in magnitude, these mechanisms are…
In distributed networks, calculating the maximum element is a fundamental task in data analysis, known as the distributed maximum consensus problem. However, the sensitive nature of the data involved makes privacy protection essential.…
Differential privacy is a mathematical framework for privacy-preserving data analysis. Changing the hyperparameters of a differentially private algorithm allows one to trade off privacy and utility in a principled way. Quantifying this…
This paper introduces a novel approach to concurrently design dynamic controllers and correlated differential privacy noise in dynamic control systems. An increase in privacy noise increases the system's privacy but adversely affects the…
Next-generation systems aim to increase both the speed and responsiveness of wireless communications, while supporting compelling applications such as edge and cloud computing, remote-Health, vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, etc.…
As extended reality (XR) systems become increasingly immersive and sensor-rich, they enable the collection of behavioral signals such as eye and body telemetry. These signals support personalized and responsive experiences and may also…
Gaze estimation models are widely used in applications such as driver attention monitoring and human-computer interaction. While many methods for gaze estimation exist, they rely heavily on data-hungry deep learning to achieve high…
In this paper, we introduce a learning model able to conceals personal information (e.g. gender, age, ethnicity, etc.) from an image, while maintaining any additional information present in the image (e.g. smile, hair-style, brightness).…
Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity due to the growing awareness for a sustainable future. However, since there are disproportionately fewer charging stations than EVs, range anxiety plays a major role in the rise in the number…
Gradient perturbation, widely used for differentially private optimization, injects noise at every iterative update to guarantee differential privacy. Previous work first determines the noise level that can satisfy the privacy requirement…
MRI scans provide valuable medical information, however they also contain sensitive and personally identifiable information that needs to be protected. Whereas MRI metadata is easily sanitized, MRI image data is a privacy risk because it…
In this paper, we consider the framework of privacy amplification via iteration, which is originally proposed by Feldman et al. and subsequently simplified by Asoodeh et al. in their analysis via the contraction coefficient. This line of…
Eye movement biometrics (EMB) use subject-specific gaze dynamics for user authentication and identification. Recent deep learning-based EMB systems achieve strong performance by modeling temporal eye movement behavior. However, these…
Soft-biometric privacy-enhancing techniques represent machine learning methods that aim to: (i) mitigate privacy concerns associated with face recognition technology by suppressing selected soft-biometric attributes in facial images (e.g.,…
Speech 'in-the-wild' is a handicap for speaker recognition systems due to the variability induced by real-life conditions, such as environmental noise and the emotional state of the speaker. Taking advantage of the principles of…
We propose a novel problem formulation to address the privacy-utility tradeoff, specifically when dealing with two distinct user groups characterized by unique sets of private and utility attributes. Unlike previous studies that primarily…
Our voice encodes a uniquely identifiable pattern which can be used to infer private attributes, such as gender or identity, that an individual might wish not to reveal when using a speech recognition service. To prevent attribute inference…
In recent years, differential privacy has been adopted by tech-companies and governmental agencies as the standard for measuring privacy in algorithms. In this article, we study differential privacy in Bayesian posterior sampling settings.…
Guaranteeing privacy in released data is an important goal for data-producing agencies. There has been extensive research on developing suitable privacy mechanisms in recent years. Particularly notable is the idea of noise addition with the…
