Abstract. As more and more person-specific data like health information becomes available, increasing attention is paid to confidentiality and privacy protection. One proposed mode...
Abstract. In this paper, we focus on the problem of preserving the privacy of sensitive relationships in graph data. We refer to the problem of inferring sensitive relationships fr...
Data mining tasks such as supervised classification can often benefit from a large training dataset. However, in many application domains, privacy concerns can hinder the construc...
We briefly survey several privacy compromises in published datasets, some historical and some on paper. An inspection of these suggests that the problem lies with the nature of the...
Privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) is an important topic to both industry and academia. In general there are two approaches to tackling PPDM, one is statistics-based and the oth...

Abstract. Model selection is an important problem in statistics, machine learning, and data mining. In this paper, we investigate the problem of enabling multiple parties to perfor...
Accurate localization of mobile objects is a major research problem in sensor networks and an important data mining application. Specifically, the localization problem is to deter...

We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
Modeling the evolution of topics with time is of great value in automatic summarization and analysis of large document collections. In this work, we propose a new probabilistic gr...
