• Abstract: The collection of individuals' data has become commonplace in many industries. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers a rigorous approach to preserving privacy whereby the individual privatises their data locally, allowing only their perturbed datum to leave their possession. LDP thus provides a provable privacy guarantee to the individual against both adversaries and database administrators. Existing LDP mechanisms have successfully been applied to low-dimensional data, but in high dimensions the privacy-inducing noise largely destroys the utility of the data. In this work, our contributions are two-fold: first, by adapting state-of-the-art techniques from representation learning, we introduce a novel approach to learning LDP mechanisms. These mechanisms add noise to powerful representations on the low-dimensional manifold underlying the data, thereby overcoming the prohibitive noise requirements of LDP in high dimensions. Second, we introduce a novel denoising approach for downstream model learning. The training of performant machine learning models using collected LDP data is a common goal for data collectors, and downstream model performance forms a proxy for the LDP data utility. Our approach significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art LDP mechanisms.

  We investigate capability of Large Language Models (Ms) to generate synthetic datasets with Differential Privacy (DP) mechanisms. Our approach incorporates DP-based noise injection methods, including Laplace and Gaussian distributions, into the data generation process. We then evaluate the utility of these DP-enhanced synthetic datasets by comparing the performance of ML models trained on them against models trained on the original data.

We propose FewFedPIT, designed to simultaneously enhance privacy protection and model performance of federated few-shot learning.

  We propose a differentially private high-dimensional data publication mechanism (DP2-Pub) that runs in two phases. splitting attributes into several low-dimensional clusters with high intra-cluster cohesion and low inter-cluster coupling helps obtain a reasonable privacy budget. We also extend our DP2-Pub mechanism to the scenario with a semi-honest server which satisfies local differential privacy.

  Differential privacy is a formal definition that allows quantifying the privacy-utility trade-off. With the local DP (LDP) model, users can sanitize their data locally before transmitting it to the server. In all cases, we concluded that differentially private ML models achieve nearly the same utility metrics as non-private ones.

  Federated learning (FL) is capable of preserving private data from mobile terminals (MTs) while training the data into useful models. From a viewpoint of information theory, it is still possible for a curious server to infer private information from the shared models uploaded by MTs. We propose a user-level differential privacy (UDP) algorithm by adding artificial noise to the shared models before uploading them to servers.
