Enforcing Privacy in Distributed Learning With Performance Guarantees

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 ...

Anonymous Tokens with Stronger Metadata Bit Hiding from Algebraic MACs

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

On the one hand, the web needs to be secured from malicious activities such as bots or DoS attacks; on the other hand, such needs ideally should not justify services tracking people's activities on the web. Anonymous tokens provide a nice tradeoff between ...

Efficient and Accurate Peer-to-Peer Training of Machine Learning Based Home Thermal Models

Rachid Guerraoui, Omid Ardakanian, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

The integration of smart thermostats in home automation systems has created an opportunity to optimize space heating and cooling through the use of machine learning, for example for thermal model identification. Nonetheless, its full potential remains unta ...

Protecting privacy through metadata analysis

Sandra Deepthy Siby

Although encryption hides the content of communications from third parties, metadata, i.e., the information attached to the content (such as the size or timing of communication) can be a rich source of details and context. In this dissertation, we demonstr ...

A Modular Multimodal Architecture for Gaze Target Prediction: Application to Privacy-Sensitive Settings

Jean-Marc Odobez, Anshul Gupta, Samy Tafasca

Predicting where a person is looking is a complex task, requiring to understand not only the person's gaze and scene content, but also the 3D scene structure and the person's situation (are they manipulating? interacting or observing others? attentive?) to ...

Data Privacy Concerns as a Source of Resistance to Complete Mobile Data Collection Tasks Via a Smartphone App

Daniel Gatica-Perez

Smartphones present many interesting opportunities for survey research, particularly through the use of mobile data collection applications (apps). There is still much to learn, however, about how to integrate apps in general population surveys. Recent stu ...

Differentially Private Multi-Agent Constraint Optimization

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

Several optimization scenarios involve multiple agents that desire to protect the privacy of their preferences. There are distributed algorithms for constraint optimization that provide improved privacy protection through secure multiparty computation. How ...

Utility/privacy trade-off as regularized optimal transport

Etienne Patrice Boursier

Strategic information is valuable either by remaining private (for instance if it is sensitive) or, on the other hand, by being used publicly to increase some utility. These two objectives are antagonistic and leaking this information by taking full advant ...

Generating Higher-Fidelity Synthetic Datasets with Privacy Guarantees

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

We consider the problem of enhancing user privacy in common data analysis and machine learning development tasks, such as data annotation and inspection, by substituting the real data with samples from a generative adversarial network. We propose employing ...

TEE-based decentralized recommender systems: The raw data sharing redemption

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Akash Balasaheb Dhasade, Nevena Dresevic, Rafael Pereira Pires

Recommenders are central in many applications today. The most effective recommendation schemes, such as those based on collaborative filtering (CF), exploit similarities between user profiles to make recommendations, but potentially expose private data. Fe ...
