Privacy Preserving Representation

Privacy-preserving representation learning aims to create data representations that are useful for machine learning tasks while minimizing the risk of revealing sensitive information. Current research focuses on developing methods that balance utility and privacy using techniques like adversarial training, information-theoretic approaches (e.g., Privacy Funnels), and generative models (e.g., GANs and VAEs), often applied within specific domains such as face recognition, speech processing, and visual localization. These advancements are crucial for enabling the responsible use of data in various applications, addressing growing concerns about data privacy and security in machine learning.
