Aggregating statistics over geographical regions is important for many applications, such as analyzing income, election results, and disease spread. However, the sensitive nature of this data necessitates strong privacy protections to…

Sketches are widely used for frequency estimation of data with a large domain. However, sketches-based frequency estimation faces more challenges when considering privacy. Local differential privacy (LDP) is a solution to frequency…

We study discrete distribution estimation under user-level local differential privacy (LDP). In user-level $\varepsilon$-LDP, each user has $m\ge1$ samples and the privacy of all $m$ samples must be preserved simultaneously. We resolve the…

Federated learning (FL) enables organizations to collaboratively train models without sharing their datasets. Despite this advantage, recent studies show that both client updates and the global model can leak private information, limiting…

The objective of differential privacy (DP) is to protect privacy by producing an output distribution that is indistinguishable between any two neighboring databases. However, traditional differentially private mechanisms tend to produce…

Generative adversarial network (GAN) has attracted increasing attention recently owing to its impressive ability to generate realistic samples with high privacy protection. Without directly interactive with training examples, the generative…

In the domain of deep learning, the challenge of protecting sensitive data while maintaining model utility is significant. Traditional Differential Privacy (DP) techniques such as Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD)…

Privacy protection has become an increasingly pressing requirement in distributed optimization. However, equipping distributed optimization with differential privacy, the state-of-the-art privacy protection mechanism, will unavoidably…

Distributed computing frameworks such as MapReduce have become essential for large-scale data processing by decomposing tasks across multiple nodes. The multi-access distributed computing (MADC) model further advances this paradigm by…

We propose an adaptive (stochastic) gradient perturbation method for differentially private empirical risk minimization. At each iteration, the random noise added to the gradient is optimally adapted to the stepsize; we name this process…

The tension between data privacy and model utility has become the defining bottleneck for the practical deployment of large language models (LLMs) trained on sensitive corpora including healthcare. Differentially private stochastic gradient…

Although differential privacy (DP) is widely regarded as the de facto standard for data privacy, its implementation remains vulnerable to unfaithful execution by servers, particularly in distributed settings. In such cases, servers may…

Applying machine learning (ML) to sensitive domains requires privacy protection of the underlying training data through formal privacy frameworks, such as differential privacy (DP). Yet, usually, the privacy of the training data comes at…

Several randomization mechanisms for local differential privacy (LDP) (e.g., randomized response) are well-studied to improve the utility. However, recent studies show that LDP is generally vulnerable to malicious data providers in nature.…

Local Differential Privacy (LDP) enables massive data collection and analysis while protecting end users' privacy against untrusted aggregators. It has been applied to various data types (e.g., categorical, numerical, and graph data) and…

Differential Privacy (DP) is the de facto standard for reasoning about the privacy guarantees of a training algorithm. Despite the empirical observation that DP reduces the vulnerability of models to existing membership inference (MI)…

Security concerns in large-scale networked environments are becoming increasingly critical. To further improve the algorithm security from the design perspective of decentralized optimization algorithms, we introduce a new measure: Privacy…

Reinforcement learning algorithms are widely used in domains where it is desirable to provide a personalized service. In these domains it is common that user data contains sensitive information that needs to be protected from third parties.…

Differential privacy (DP) techniques can be applied to the federated learning model to statistically guarantee data privacy against inference attacks to communication among the learning agents. While ensuring strong data privacy, however,…

In this work, we explore differentially private synthetic data generation in a decentralized-data setting by building on the recently proposed Differentially Private Class-Centric Data Aggregation (DP-CDA). DP-CDA synthesizes data in a…
