We study the problem of private classification using kernel methods. More specifically, we propose private protocols implementing the Kernel Adatron and Kernel Perceptron learning ...
Data visualization plays a crucial role in identifying interesting patterns in exploratory data analysis. Its use is, however, made difficult by the large number of possible data p...
Privacy and security concerns can prevent sharing of data, derailing data mining projects. Distributed knowledge discovery, if done correctly, can alleviate this problem. The key ...
