Efficient Unlearning with Privacy Guarantees

arXiv:2507. 04771v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Privacy protection laws, such as the GDPR, grant individuals the right to request the forgetting of their personal data not only from databases but also from machine learning (ML) models trained on them.

Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Federated Learning via Explainable Adaptive Differential Privacy

arXiv:2509. 10691v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Decentralized federated learning enables collaborative model training without a central server, but shared model updates can still leak sensitive information through inversion, reconstruction, and membership inference attacks.

IntraShuffler: A Privacy Preserving Framework for Heterogeneous DP Federated Learning

Heterogeneous Differential Privacy (HDP) in Federated Learning (FL) allows clients to select individual privacy budgets ($\varepsilon_i$) according to institutional policies and data sensitivity. In practice, many HDP-FL systems employ $\varepsilon$-aware server aggregation to improve model utility by re-weighting client updates according to their declared privacy budgets.

On the Inherent Privacy Amplification of Missing Data

The paper explores how missing data can inherently enhance privacy in machine learning. By integrating missingness into a differential privacy framework, the authors demonstrate that the absence of certain features can amplify privacy guarantees without altering the underlying algorithm. This reveals a previously overlooked interaction between data incompleteness and formal privacy protections.
