A Privacy-Preserving Querying Mechanism with High Utility for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular due to environmental consciousness. The limited availability of charging stations (CSs), compared to the number of EVs on the road, has led to increased range anxiety and a higher frequency of CS queries du ...

The Privacy Power of Correlated Noise in Decentralized Learning

Rachid Guerraoui, Martin Jaggi, Anastasiia Koloskova, Youssef Allouah, Aymane El Firdoussi

Decentralized learning is appealing as it enables the scalable usage of large amounts of distributed data and resources (without resorting to any central entity), while promoting privacy since every user minimizes the direct exposure of their data. Yet, wi ...

Optimization Algorithms for Decentralized, Distributed and Collaborative Machine Learning

Anastasiia Koloskova

Distributed learning is the key for enabling training of modern large-scale machine learning models, through parallelising the learning process. Collaborative learning is essential for learning from privacy-sensitive data that is distributed across various ...

Differentially private multi-agent constraint optimization

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Aleksei Triastcyn, Sankarshan Damle

Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a framework in which multiple agents with private constraints (or preferences) cooperate to achieve a common goal optimally. DCOPs are applicable in several multi-agent coordination/allocation problems, such as ...

Fast refacing of MR images with a generative neural network lowers re-identification risk and preserves volumetric consistency

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Tobias Kober, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal, Jonas Richiardi

With the rise of open data, identifiability of individuals based on 3D renderings obtained from routine structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the head has become a growing privacy concern. To protect subject privacy, several algorithms have ...

PRO-Face C: Privacy-Preserving Recognition of Obfuscated Face via Feature Compensation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Lin Yuan, Xiao Pu, Yao Zhang, Hongbo Li

The advancement of face recognition technology has delivered substantial societal advantages. However, it has also raised global privacy concerns due to the ubiquitous collection and potential misuse of individuals' facial data. This presents a notable par ...

Bridging the gap between theoretical and practical privacy technologies for at-risk populations

Kasra Edalatnejadkhamene

With the pervasive digitalization of modern life, we benefit from efficient access to information and services. Yet, this digitalization poses severe privacy challenges, especially for special-needs individuals. Beyond being a fundamental human right, priv ...

A Practical Influence Approximation for Privacy-Preserving Data Filtering in Federated Learning

Boi Faltings, Ljubomir Rokvic, Panayiotis Danassis

Federated Learning by nature is susceptible to low-quality, corrupted, or even malicious data that can severely degrade the quality of the learned model. Traditional techniques for data valuation cannot be applied as the data is never revealed. We present ...

Arbitrary Decisions are a Hidden Cost of Differentially Private Training

Carmela González Troncoso, Bogdan Kulynych

Mechanisms used in privacy-preserving machine learning often aim to guarantee differential privacy (DP) during model training. Practical DP-ensuring training methods use randomization when fitting model parameters to privacy-sensitive data (e.g., adding Ga ...

Enforcing Privacy in Distributed Learning With Performance Guarantees

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Elsa Rizk

We study the privatization of distributed learning and optimization strategies. We focus on differential privacy schemes and study their effect on performance. We show that the popular additive random perturbation scheme degrades performance because it is ...
