We consider statistical data analysis in the interactive setting. In this setting a trusted curator maintains a database of sensitive information about individual participants, and releases privacy-preserving answers to queries as they arrive. Our primary contribution is a new differentially private multiplicative weights mechanism for answering a large number of interactive counting (or linear) queries...
The notion of universally utility-maximizing privacy mechanism was recently introduced by Ghosh, Rough garden, and Sundararajan [STOC 2009]. These are mechanisms that guarantee optimal utility to a large class of information consumers, simultaneously, while preserving Differential Privacy [Dwork, McSherry, Nissim, and Smith, TCC 2006]. Ghosh, Rough garden and Sundararajan have demonstrated, quite...
Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of learning algorithms. We use boosting to construct improved privacy-pre serving synopses of an input database. These are data structures that yield, for a given set Q of queries over an input database, reasonably accurate estimates of the responses to every query in Q, even when the number of queries is much larger than the number of rows in...
In light of the recent development of multimedia and networking technologies, an exponentially increasing amount of content is available via various public services. That is why content identification attracts a lot of attention. One possible technology for content identification is based on digital fingerprinting. When trying to establish information-theoretic limits in this application, usually...
Due to advances in data collection and increasing dependency on data mining experts, preserving privacy of the data is a major concern when mining the data. Most of the classifier implementations for data mining have the tradeoff between classification accuracy and maintenance of data privacy. Another important aspect in distance-based classifiers is to accurately compute distance (or similarity)...
