SEF-MK: Speaker-Embedding-Free Voice Anonymization through Multi-k-means Quantization
Voice anonymization protects speaker privacy by concealing identity while preserving linguistic and paralinguistic content. Self-supervised learning (SSL) representations encode linguistic features but preserve speaker traits. We propose a novel speaker-embedding-free framework called SEF-MK. Instead of using a single k-means model trained on the entire dataset, SEF-MK anonymizes SSL representations for each utterance by randomly selecting one of multiple k-means models, each trained on a diffe…

email_eu: Email network (EU research inst.)
An email network (anonymized) from a large European research institution, collected from October 2003 to May 2005 (18 months). Each node corresponds to an email address, and a directed edge exists between nodes i and j, if i sent at least one message to j.
This network has 265214 nodes and 420045 edges.

Die Verarbeitung medizinischer Forschungsdaten ohne datenschutzrechtliche Einwilligung: Der Korridor zwischen Anonymisierung und der Forschungsausnahme in Österreich
Modern, data-driven medical research requires the processing of sensitive health data on a large scale. However, this data is subject to special protection under the GDPR, which is why processing regularly raises data protection concerns in practice. These concerns are particularly prevalent when sensitive personal data is processed without informed consent. This article analyses options for data processing in the field of medical research without consent and describes the legal framework for a…

Perpetual exploration in anonymous synchronous networks with a Byzantine black hole
In this paper, we investigate: ``How can a group of initially co-located mobile agents perpetually explore an unknown graph, when one stationary node occasionally behaves maliciously, under an adversary's control?'' We call this node a ``Byzantine black hole (BBH)'' and at any given round it may choose to destroy all visiting agents, or none. This subtle power can drastically undermine classical exploration strategies designed for an always active black hole. We study this perpetual exploration…

Anonymous voting in a heterogeneous society
We study the design of voting mechanisms in a binary social choice environment where agents' cardinal valuations are independent but not necessarily identically distributed. The mechanism must be anonymous -- the outcome is invariant to permutations of the reported values. We show that if there are two agents then expected welfare is always maximized by an ordinal majority rule, but with three or more agents there are environments in which cardinal mechanisms that take into account preference i…
