We propose new differential privacy solutions for when external \emph{invariants} and \emph{integer} constraints are simultaneously enforced on the data product. These requirements arise in real world applications of private data curation,…

Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) enables collaborative model training across feature-partitioned devices, yet its reliance on device-server information exchange introduces significant communication overhead and privacy risks. Downlink…

In-context learning (ICL) enables large language models (LLMs) to adapt to new tasks by conditioning on demonstrations of question-answer pairs and it has been shown to have comparable performance to costly model retraining and fine-tuning.…

With the popularity of GPS-enabled devices, a huge amount of trajectory data has been continuously collected and a variety of location-based services have been developed that greatly benefit our daily life. However, the released…

When collecting information, local differential privacy (LDP) alleviates privacy concerns of users because their private information is randomized before being sent it to the central aggregator. LDP imposes large amount of noise as each…

We study the (nearly) optimal mechanisms in $(\epsilon,\delta)$-approximate differential privacy for integer-valued query functions and vector-valued (histogram-like) query functions under a utility-maximization/cost-minimization framework.…

In this paper, we investigate federated learning for quantile inference under local differential privacy (LDP). We propose an estimator based on local stochastic gradient descent (SGD), whose local gradients are perturbed via a randomized…

Traditional approaches to differential privacy assume a fixed privacy requirement $\epsilon$ for a computation, and attempt to maximize the accuracy of the computation subject to the privacy constraint. As differential privacy is…

Federated learning (FL) is recently surging as a promising decentralized deep learning (DL) framework that enables DL-based approaches trained collaboratively across clients without sharing private data. However, in the context of the…

This paper presents a novel approach to classical linear regression, enabling model computation from data streams or in a distributed setting while preserving data privacy in federated environments. We extend this framework to generalized…

Differential privacy (DP) techniques can be applied to the federated learning model to protect data privacy against inference attacks to communication among the learning agents. The DP techniques, however, hinder achieving a greater…

Large language models (LLMs) have significantly transformed natural language understanding and generation, but they raise privacy concerns due to potential exposure of sensitive information. Studies have highlighted the risk of information…

Differential privacy (DP) is a formal privacy framework that enables training machine learning (ML) models while protecting individuals' data. As pointed out by prior work, ML models are part of larger systems, which can lead to so-called…

Differential privacy is becoming one gold standard for protecting the privacy of publicly shared data. It has been widely used in social science, data science, public health, information technology, and the U.S. decennial census.…

We give new mechanisms for answering exponentially many queries from multiple analysts on a private database, while protecting differential privacy both for the individuals in the database and for the analysts. That is, our mechanism's…

Modelling edge weights play a crucial role in the analysis of network data, which reveals the extent of relationships among individuals. Due to the diversity of weight information, sharing these data has become a complicated challenge in a…

The privacy concerns associated with the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) have grown recently with the development of LLMs such as ChatGPT. Differential Privacy (DP) techniques are explored in existing work to mitigate their privacy…

Differential privacy (DP), as a rigorous mathematical definition quantifying privacy leakage, has become a well-accepted standard for privacy protection. Combined with powerful machine learning techniques, differentially private machine…

We consider a collaborative learning scenario in which multiple data-owners wish to jointly train a logistic regression model, while keeping their individual datasets private from the other parties. We propose COPML, a fully-decentralized…

We show that an "old dog", the classical discrete Laplace (aka.~geometric) mechanism, can "perform new tricks": 1. It can be post-processed to yield a simple, unbiased estimator of any subexponential function $f$ of the original data,…
