Picture the Epsilon: Pursuing Identity-Level Privacy Guarantees for Images

arXiv:2608. 17147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-to-image face generators are widely used, and visual dissimilarity between their outputs and source images is sometimes treated as evidence of privacy.

The pretraining domain outweighs the training objective in setting the privacy-utility trade-off of differentially private medical image analysis

arXiv:2601. 19618v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Differential privacy protects the patients whose images train medical imaging models, but it lowers diagnostic accuracy, and the initialization is the strongest known remedy.

A Privacy Study of Sparse Collaborative Inference

arXiv:2608. 16236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collaborative inference (CI) splits a model between an edge device and a server, whereby the client computes an intermediate activation, transmits it, and the server completes the computation.

DecoyFace: Beyond Obfuscation via Controllable and Imperceptible Identity Misdirection for Privacy-Preserving Face Recognition

Split face recognition reduces client-side computation but exposes intermediate features to feature inversion attacks and unauthorized analysis by honest-but-curious (HBC) servers. Existing privacy-preserving face recognition methods mainly aim to resist unauthorized reconstruction, typically producing features whose inversion yields visibly degraded results, which may reveal the existence of protection and motivate adaptive attacks.

Let's Ask Gauss: Improved One-Run Privacy Auditing

arXiv:2606. 12733v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Privacy auditing provides an important safeguard by estimating the actual information leaked by a model, thus ensuring that theoretical privacy guarantees hold in practice.
