Differential Privacy for Markov Chain State Trajectories

Alexander Benvenuti, Matthew Hale

Data-driven systems may require state trajectories of Markov chains to function because these trajectories contain information that is useful to the system, e.g., a product's credi…

End-to-End Differential Privacy in Training Deep Neural Network Classifiers

Huaiyuan Rao, Calvin Hawkins, Alexander Benvenuti +1

Differentially private machine learning enables model training on sensitive data while ensuring that individual data is unlikely to be recoverable from the parameters of the result…

Deception in Linear-Quadratic Control

Yerin Kim, Haosheng Zhou, Alexander Benvenuti +2

Systems operating in adversarial environments may inadvertently leak sensitive information to adversaries. To address this challenge, we revisit the linear-quadratic control framew…

Differential Privacy for Symbolic Trajectories via the Permute-and-Flip Mechanism

Alexander Benvenuti, Huaiyuan Rao, Matthew Hale

Privacy techniques have been developed for data-driven systems, but systems with non-numeric data cannot use typical noise-adding techniques. Therefore, we develop a new mechanism…

Differentially Private Data-Driven Markov Chain Modeling

Alexander Benvenuti, Brandon Fallin, Calvin Hawkins +4

Markov chains model a wide range of user behaviors. However, generating accurate Markov chain models requires substantial user data, and sharing these models without privacy protec…

Generating Differentially Private Networks with a Modified Erdős-Rényi Model

Huaiyuan Rao, Calvin Hawkins, Alexander Benvenuti +1

Differential privacy has been used to privately calculate numerous network properties, but existing approaches often require the development of a new privacy mechanism for each pro…

Differentially Private Linear Programming: Reduced Sub-Optimality and Guaranteed Constraint Satisfaction

Alexander Benvenuti, Brendan Bialy, Miriam Dennis +1

Linear programming is a fundamental tool in a wide range of decision systems. However, without privacy protections, sharing the solution to a linear program may reveal information…

Deceptive Sequential Decision-Making via Regularized Policy Optimization

Yerin Kim, Alexander Benvenuti, Bo Chen +5

Autonomous systems are increasingly expected to operate in the presence of adversaries, though adversaries may infer sensitive information simply by observing a system. Therefore,…

Guaranteed Feasibility in Differentially Private Linearly Constrained Convex Optimization

Alexander Benvenuti, Brendan Bialy, Miriam Dennis +1

Convex programming with linear constraints plays an important role in the operation of a number of everyday systems. However, absent any additional protections, revealing or acting…

Differentially Private Computation of Basic Reproduction Numbers in Networked Epidemic Models

Bo Chen, Baike She, Calvin Hawkins +4

The basic reproduction number of a networked epidemic model, denoted , can be computed from a network's topology to quantify epidemic spread. However, disclosure of risk…

Differentially Private Reward Functions in Policy Synthesis for Markov Decision Processes

Alexander Benvenuti, Calvin Hawkins, Brandon Fallin +4

Markov decision processes often seek to maximize a reward function, but onlookers may infer reward functions by observing the states and actions of such systems, revealing sensitiv…
