Contraction and Statistical Inference under Privacy for Uniformly Bounded Distributions

Leonhard Grosse, Sara Saeidian, Tobias J. Oechtering +1

We investigate -interior pointwise maximal leakage (PML) as a tool for contraction analyses and disclosure control. Based on the strong adversarial threat models from maximal le…

Generalizing the Fano inequality further

Raghav Bongole, Tobias J. Oechtering, Mikael Skoglund

Interactive statistical decision making (ISDM) features algorithm-dependent data generated through interaction. Existing information-theoretic lower bounds in ISDM largely target e…

Dobrushin Coefficients of Private Mechanisms Beyond Local Differential Privacy

Leonhard Grosse, Sara Saeidian, Tobias J. Oechtering +1

We investigate Dobrushin coefficients of discrete Markov kernels that have bounded pointwise maximal leakage (PML) with respect to all distributions with a minimum probability mass…

Risk level dependent Minimax Quantile lower bounds for Interactive Statistical Decision Making

Raghav Bongole, Amirreza Zamani, Tobias J. Oechtering +1

Minimax risk and regret focus on expectation, missing rare failures critical in safety-critical bandits and reinforcement learning. Minimax quantiles capture these tails. Three str…

Integrated Sensing and Communication with Distributed Rate-Limited Helpers

Yiqi Chen, Holger Boche, Tobias J. Oechtering +1

This paper studies integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems with two rate-limited helpers who observe the channel state sequence and the feedback sequence, respectively.…

An Information Geometric Approach to Local Information Privacy with Applications to Max-lift and Local Differential Privacy

Amirreza Zamani, Parastoo Sadeghi, Mikael Skoglund

We study an information-theoretic privacy mechanism design, where an agent observes useful data and wants to reveal the information to a user. Since the useful data is correlat…

Multi-terminal Strong Coordination over Noisy Channels with Encoder Co-operation

Viswanathan Ramachandran, Tobias J. Oechtering, Mikael Skoglund

We investigate the problem of strong coordination over a multiple-access channel (MAC) with cribbing encoders. In this configuration, two encoders observe independent and identical…

Bounds on the privacy amplification of arbitrary channels via the contraction of -divergence

Leonhard Grosse, Sara Saeidian, Tobias J. Oechtering +1

We examine the privacy amplification of channels that do not necessarily satisfy any LDP guarantee by analyzing their contraction behavior in terms of -divergence, an -dive…

Private Semantic Communications with Separate Blind Encoders

Amirreza Zamani, Mikael Skoglund

We study a semantic communication problem with a privacy constraint where an encoder consists of two separate parts, e.g., encoder 1 and encoder 2. The first encoder has access to…

Multi-terminal Strong Coordination subject to Secrecy Constraints

Viswanathan Ramachandran, Tobias J. Oechtering, Mikael Skoglund

A fundamental problem in decentralized networked systems is to coordinate actions of different agents so that they reach a state of agreement. In such applications, it is additiona…

On Information Theoretic Fairness: Compressed Representations With Perfect Demographic Parity

Amirreza Zamani, Borja Rodríguez-Gálvez, Mikael Skoglund

In this article, we study the fundamental limits in the design of fair and/or private representations achieving perfect demographic parity and/or perfect privacy through the lens o…

Multi-Task Private Semantic Communication

Amirreza Zamani, Sajad Daei, Tobias J. Oechtering +1

We study a multi-task private semantic communication problem, in which an encoder has access to an information source arbitrarily correlated with some latent private data. A user h…

Quantifying Privacy via Information Density

Leonhard Grosse, Sara Saeidian, Parastoo Sadeghi +2

We examine the relationship between privacy metrics that utilize information density to measure information leakage between a private and a disclosed random variable. Firstly, we p…
