Differentially private multi-agent constraint optimization

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn, Sujit Prakash Gujar, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Distributed Differentially Private Algorithm for Resource Allocation in Unboundedly Large Settings

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn, Panayiotis Danassis

We introduce a practical and scalable algorithm (PALMA) for solving one of the fundamental problems of multi-agent systems -- finding matches and allocations -- in unboundedly large settings (e.g., resource allocation in urban environments, mobility-on-dem ...

Data-Aware Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning

Aleksei Triastcyn

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of achieving practical privacy guarantees in machine learning (ML), where the classic differential privacy (DP) fails to maintain a good trade-off between user privacy and data utility. Differential privacy guarantee ...

Federated Generative Privacy

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

We propose FedGP, a framework for privacy-preserving data release in the federated learning setting. We use generative adversarial networks, generator components of which are trained by FedAvg algorithm, to draw private artificial data samples and empirica ...

Generating Artificial Data for Private Deep Learning

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

In this paper, we propose generating artificial data that retain statistical properties of real data as the means of providing privacy for the original dataset. We use generative adversarial networks to draw privacy-preserving artificial data samples and d ...

Federated Learning with Bayesian Differential Privacy

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

We consider the problem of reinforcing federated learning with formal privacy guarantees. We propose to employ Bayesian differential privacy, a relaxation of differential privacy for similarly distributed data, to provide sharper privacy loss bounds. We ad ...

MediaEval 2012 Visual Privacy Task: Applying Transform-domain Scrambling to Automatically Detected Faces

Touradj Ebrahimi, Aleksei Triastcyn

In this paper, we describe our approach and discuss evaluation results for the MediaEval 2012 Visual Privacy task. The goal of the task is to obscure faces of people visible in provided surveillance clips to preserve their personal privacy. We also additio ...
