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 ...

On the (In)security of Peer-to-Peer Decentralized Machine Learning

Mathilde Aliénor Raynal, Carmela González Troncoso, Dario Pasquini

In this work, we carry out the first, in-depth, privacy analysis of Decentralized Learning-a collaborative machine learning framework aimed at addressing the main limitations of federated learning. We introduce a suite of novel attacks for both passive and ...

Tensor approximation of the self-diffusion matrix of tagged particle processes

Christoph Max Strössner

The objective of this paper is to investigate a new numerical method for the approximation of the self-diffusion matrix of a tagged particle process defined on a grid. While standard numerical methods make use of long-time averages of empirical means of de ...

Federated Learning under Covariate Shifts with Generalization Guarantees

Volkan Cevher, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu

This paper addresses intra-client and inter-client covariate shifts in federated learning (FL) with a focus on the overall generalization performance. To handle covariate shifts, we formulate a new global model training paradigm and propose Federated Impor ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
