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.

Jacobian-Guided Anisotropic Noise Reshaping for Enhancing Representation Utility under Local Differential Privacy

The paper introduces Jacobian-Guided Anisotropic Noise Reshaping, a method that improves data utility under Local Differential Privacy by selectively reducing noise in task-relevant subspaces of data representations. It uses the Jacobian of a public downstream model to identify critical directions and reshapes isotropic LDP noise into an anisotropic distribution, preserving privacy while enhancing performance. Experiments on CIFAR-10-C show significant accuracy gains, especially for PrivUnit variants at ε=7.5.
