Enabling medical research with differential privacy: the project team includes biomedical researchers from the Genome Institute of Singapore and from NUHS/NUS, along with data mining and security experts from ADSC, I2R, and NTU. The overall plan was for the biomedical researchers to identify the types of analyses where they most wanted to be
The ubiquitous collection of real-world, fine-grained user mobility data from WiFi access points (APs) has the potential to revolutionize the development and evaluation of mobile network research. However, access to real-world network data is hard to come by; and public releases of network traces without adequate privacy guarantees can reveal users’ visit locations, network usage patterns Differentially private sequential data publication via variable-length n-grams R Chen, G Acs, C Castelluccia Proceedings of the 2012 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications … , 2012 optimizations with differential privacy (see e.g. [11]). Some portions of the framework for jointly estimating position bias and training a ranking function [13] (e.g. using gradient boosted decision trees as a ranker) fit nicely into such a framework; other aspects (e.g. en-forcing k-anonymity thresholds on query and document n-grams) N-grams in the ordered histogram for the position having a frequency below the noise floor can be discarded and excluded from further processing. In an embodiment, if there are “n” samples of n-gram data in the histogram, then the noise floor= c * n ɛ, where ε is a differential privacy constant, and c is a constant.
Due to the inherent sequentiality and high-dimensionality, it is challenging to apply differential privacy to sequential data. In this paper, we address this challenge by employ-ing a variable-length n-gram model, which extracts the es-sential information of a sequential database in terms of a set of variable-length n-grams.

Recently, researchers begin to leverage differential privacy to solve this challenge. Nevertheless, existing mechanisms make an implicit assumption that the trajectories contain a lot of identical prefixes or n-grams, which is not true in many applications.
We study the basic operation of set union in the global model of differential privacy. In this problem, we are given a universe U of items, possibly of infinite size, and a database D of users. Each user i contributes a subset W⊆U of items. We want an (ϵ,δ)-differentially private algorithm which outputs a subset S of the union of all sets W such that … In an embodiment, differential privacy engine 228 can check the blacklist storage 205 before processing a word (e.g. generating differentially private n-grams). In an embodiment, differential privacy engine (DPE) 228 of a client device 110 sends a word to term learning server 130 only once. both privacy and utility. First, the universe of all grams with a small nvalue is relatively small (note that our approach does not even require to explore the entire universe of all n-grams), and thus we can employ the stronger "-di erential privacy model. Second, the counts of shorter grams are often large enough to resist noise. A differential privacy system on the client device can comprise a privacy budget for each classification of new words. If there is privacy budget available for the classification, then one or more new terms in a classification can be sent to new term learning server, and the privacy budget for the classification reduced.
