We consider data release protocols for data $X=(S,U)$, where $S$ is sensitive; the released data $Y$ contains as much information about $X$ as possible, measured as $\operatorname{I}(X;Y)$, without leaking too much about $S$. We introduce…
Large volumes of medical data remain underutilized because centralizing distributed data is often infeasible due to strict privacy regulations and institutional constraints. In addition, models trained in centralized settings frequently…
Dependent data underlies many statistical studies in the social and health sciences, which often involve sensitive or private information. Differential privacy (DP) and in particular \textit{user-level} DP provide a natural formalization of…
Emerging systems such as smart grids or intelligent transportation systems often require end-user applications to continuously send information to external data aggregators performing monitoring or control tasks. This can result in an…
Differential privacy (DP) enables safe data release, with synthetic data generation emerging as a common approach in recent years. Yet standard synthesizers preserve all dependencies in the data, including spurious correlations between…
This paper considers the private release of statistics of disjoint subsets of a dataset, in the setting of data heterogeneity, where users could contribute more than one sample, with different users contributing potentially different…
In applications such as event monitoring, log analysis, and video querying, $w$-event privacy protects individual data within a sliding time window while supporting accurate stream statistics. Existing studies on infinite data streams…

Differential privacy (DP) provides formal guarantees that the output of a database query does not reveal too much information about any individual present in the database. While many differentially private algorithms have been proposed in…
Person re-identification (ReID), as a crucial technology in the field of security, plays an important role in security detection and people counting. Current security and monitoring systems largely rely on visual information, which may…
Differential privacy (DP) enables private data analysis. In a typical DP deployment, controllers manage individuals' sensitive data and are responsible for answering analysts' queries while protecting individuals' privacy. They do so by…
Radio maps that describe spatial variations in wireless signal strength are widely used to optimize networks and support aerial platforms. Their construction requires location-labeled signal measurements from distributed users, raising…
Differential privacy is the state-of-the-art definition for privacy, guaranteeing that any analysis performed on a sensitive dataset leaks no information about the individuals whose data are contained therein. In this thesis, we develop…
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…
Differential privacy is a privacy measure based on the difficulty of discriminating between similar input data. In differential privacy analysis, similar data usually implies that their distance does not exceed a predetermined threshold.…
Differential privacy (DP), provides a framework for provable privacy protection against arbitrary adversaries, while allowing the release of summary statistics and synthetic data. We address the problem of releasing a noisy real-valued…
