Private Aggregation

Private aggregation focuses on enabling collaborative computation and model training on sensitive data while preserving individual privacy. Current research emphasizes techniques like differential privacy, applied to various algorithms including Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles (PATE) and its variants, and secure aggregation methods within federated learning frameworks. These advancements are crucial for addressing privacy concerns in diverse applications, ranging from geographical data analysis and medical image segmentation to machine learning model training on sensitive datasets. The field is actively exploring improved privacy-utility trade-offs and mitigating potential biases or vulnerabilities in these aggregation methods.
