Microaggregation is a technique used to protect privacy in databases and location-based services. We propose a new hybrid technique for multivariate microaggregation. Our techniqu...
An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
