The task of privacy-preserving face recognition (PPFR) currently faces two major unsolved challenges: (1) existing methods are typically effective only on specific face recognition models and struggle to generalize to black-box face…

Sparse Principal Component Analysis (SPCA) is a fundamental technique for dimensionality reduction, and is NP-hard. In this paper, we introduce a randomized approximation algorithm for SPCA, which is based on the basic SDP relaxation. Our…

Motivated by DNA-based storage applications, we study the problem of reconstructing a coded sequence from multiple traces. We consider the model where the traces are outputs of independent deletion channels, where each channel deletes each…

Understanding when and how much a model gradient leaks information about the training sample is an important question in privacy. In this paper, we present a surprising result: even without training or memorizing the data, we can fully…

Principal components analysis (PCA) is the optimal linear auto-encoder of data, and it is often used to construct features. Enforcing sparsity on the principal components can promote better generalization, while improving the…

This paper studies a novel privacy-preserving anonymization problem for pedestrian images, which preserves personal identity information (PII) for authorized models and prevents PII from being recognized by third parties. Conventional…

When synthesizing multi-source high-dimensional data, a key objective is to extract low-dimensional representations that effectively approximate the original features across different sources. Such representations facilitate the discovery…

A reconstruction attack on a private dataset $D$ takes as input some publicly accessible information about the dataset and produces a list of candidate elements of $D$. We introduce a new class of data reconstruction attacks based on…

In this paper, we investigate unconstrained and constrained sample-based federated optimization, respectively. For each problem, we propose a privacy preserving algorithm using stochastic successive convex approximation (SSCA) techniques,…

Sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) is widely used for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction in high-dimensional data analysis. Despite many methodological and theoretical developments in the past two decades, the…

Privacy-preserving data analysis is emerging as a challenging problem with far-reaching impact. In particular, synthetic data are a promising concept toward solving the aporetic conflict between data privacy and data sharing. Yet, it is…

This article adapts the framework of metamorphosis to solve inverse problems in imaging that includes joint reconstruction and image registration. The deformations in question have two components, one that is a geometric deformation moving…

Text embeddings are fundamental to many natural language processing (NLP) tasks, extensively applied in domains such as recommendation systems and information retrieval (IR). Traditionally, transmitting embeddings instead of raw text has…

Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) aims at recovering a low-rank subspace from grossly corrupted high-dimensional (often visual) data and is a cornerstone in many machine learning and computer vision applications. Even though RPCA…

Federated learning has been proposed as a privacy-preserving machine learning framework that enables multiple clients to collaborate without sharing raw data. However, client privacy protection is not guaranteed by design in this framework.…

Model identification is a crucial problem in chemical industries. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in learning data-driven models utilizing partial knowledge about the system of interest. Most techniques for model…

Online or recursive robust PCA can be posed as a problem of recovering a sparse vector, $S_t$, and a dense vector, $L_t$, which lies in a slowly changing low-dimensional subspace, from $M_t:= S_t + L_t$ on-the-fly as new data comes in. For…

Synthetic data has been hailed as the silver bullet for privacy preserving data analysis. If a record is not real, then how could it violate a person's privacy? In addition, deep-learning based generative models are employed successfully to…

Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is widely used to identify unobserved subgroups in social and behavioural sciences. A long-standing challenge for LCA is the interpretability of the latent classes, due to the high complexity of the estimated…

Recently the sparse representation based classification (SRC) has been proposed for robust face recognition (FR). In SRC, the testing image is coded as a sparse linear combination of the training samples, and the representation fidelity is…
