SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series: Privacy\, Data Privacy\, and Differential Privacy
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 6\, 2025 | 2:00-3:30pm ET\n2:00-3:00 Seminar\n3:00-3:30 Questions and Collaboration\n\n1430BD ISR-Thompson\n426 Thompson St.\n\nRegister to attend\n\nAbstract\nThis talk traces the concept of privacy from a late 19th-century legal right—spurred by tabloid harassment—to today's digital age challenges. It highlights Differential Privacy (DP)\,a cryptography-based method designed to balance data privacy and utility in a quantified way. However\, despite DP's advancements and explicit warnings (e.g.\, Kifer and Machanavajjhala\, 2011“No free lunch in data privacy”\;Tschantz et al\, 2022\,“SoK:Differential privacy as a causal property”)\,misconceptions about its resistance to adversaries' prior knowledge persist. By revisiting Warner's (1965\, JASA) randomized response mechanism\, we argue that this misperception lies in treating data as static objects\, rather than realizations of underlying\, typically interdependent attributes or variables. We show how DP's effectiveness can falter when adversaries exploit interdependencies among individuals—similar to how quarantining only symptomatic individuals fails to stop an airborne disease. A holistic statistical perspective on joint modeling data is therefore as crucial for data privacy as for data analysis. (Joint work with James Bailie and Ruobin Gong.)\n\nBio:\nDr. Xiao-Li Meng is the Founding Editor-in-Chief of HDSR and the Whipple V. N.
