Extension of Spatial k-Anonymity: New Metrics for Assessing the Anonymity of Geomasked Data Considering Realistic Attack Scenarios
Spatial data are gaining increasing importance in many areas of research. Particularly spatial health data are becoming increasingly important for medical research, for example, to better understand relationships between environmental factors and disease patterns. However, their use is often restricted by legal data protection regulations, since georeferenced personal information carries a high risk of re-identification of individuals. To address this issue, what are called geomasking methods a…

When gunfire pelted the Atlanta-based headquarters of the CDC yesterday, hundreds of employees were inside the campus’s buildings.
The experience was terrifying.
But some of the employees were not particularly shocked.
“I’m actually surprised it didn’t happen sooner,”
a nearly 20-year veteran of the agency told me.
(She, like others I spoke with for this article, requested anonymity out of fear of losing her job.)
This was, in one sense, the first attack o…

Use Cases for Voice Anonymization
The performance of a voice anonymization system is typically measured according to its ability to hide the speaker's identity and keep the data's utility for downstream tasks. This means that the requirements the anonymization should fulfill depend on the context in which it is used and may differ greatly between use cases. However, these use cases are rarely specified in research papers. In this paper, we study the implications of use case-specific requirements on the design of voice anonymiza…

Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI
Given the rapid adoption of generative AI and its potential to impact a wide range of tasks, understanding the effects of AI on the economy is one of society's most important questions. In this work, we take a step toward that goal by analyzing the work activities people do with AI, how successfully and broadly those activities are done, and combine that with data on what occupations do those activities. We analyze a dataset of 200k anonymized and privacy-scrubbed conversations between users an…

Human-Centered Interactive Anonymization for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning: A Case for Human-Guided k-Anonymity
Privacy-preserving machine learning (ML) seeks to balance data utility and privacy, especially as regulations like the GDPR mandate the anonymization of personal data for ML applications. Conventional anonymization approaches often reduce data utility due to indiscriminate generalization or suppression of data attributes. In this study, we propose an interactive approach that incorporates human input into the k-anonymization process, enabling domain experts to guide attribute preservation based…
