Feedback Coding Enables Inference-Time Covert Agentic Communication

Sidong Guo, Sajani Vithana, Atefeh Gilani +3

As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate digital interactions, users can leverage LLM-generated text as cover for covert communication within seemingly ben…

ArcMark: Distortion-Free Multi-Byte LLM Watermark via Optimal Transport

Atefeh Gilani, Sajani Vithana, Carol Xuan Long +3

Watermarking is an important tool for promoting the responsible use of large language models (LLMs). Existing watermarks insert a signal into generated tokens that either flags LLM…

GeoClip: Geometry-Aware Clipping for Differentially Private SGD

Atefeh Gilani, Naima Tasnim, Lalitha Sankar +1

Differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD) is the most widely used method for training machine learning models with provable privacy guarantees. A key challenge in…

Optimizing Noise Distributions for Differential Privacy

Atefeh Gilani, Juan Felipe Gomez, Shahab Asoodeh +3

We propose a unified optimization framework for designing continuous and discrete noise distributions that ensure differential privacy (DP) by minimizing Rényi DP, a variant of DP,…

Reveal-or-Obscure: A Differentially Private Sampling Algorithm for Discrete Distributions

Naima Tasnim, Atefeh Gilani, Lalitha Sankar +1

We introduce a differentially private (DP) algorithm called reveal-or-obscure (ROO) to generate a single representative sample from a dataset of observations drawn i.i.d. from…

Unifying Privacy Measures via Maximal -Leakage (MbeL)

Atefeh Gilani, Gowtham R. Kurri, Oliver Kosut +1

We introduce a family of information leakage measures called maximal -leakage (MbeL), parameterized by real numbers and greater than or equal to 1. The measure is…

An Alphabet of Leakage Measures

Atefeh Gilani, Gowtham R. Kurri, Oliver Kosut +1

We introduce a family of information leakage measures called maximal -leakage, parameterized by real numbers and . The measure is formalized via an operational definiti…

Distributed Hypothesis Testing with Privacy Constraints

Atefeh Gilani, Selma Belhadj Amor, Sadaf Salehkalaibar +1

We revisit the distributed hypothesis testing (or hypothesis testing with communication constraints) problem from the viewpoint of privacy. Instead of observing the raw data direct…
