Topic

Scaling privacy embedded  distributed ML systems

Abstract

Machine learning has played an increasingly important role in big data due to its capability of efficiently extracting meaningful information and adding valuable knowledge to large diverse systems. Data from multiple organizations may exhibit different privacy policies and requirements, related to sharing data publicly while processing, assimilating, and training the data are prerequisites for any scalable architecture. As data distribution and sharing gained prominence, ML research felt the need of preserving privacy in ML models so as to prevent leakage of sensitive information outside. In this context, we organize our talk on several mechanisms to build ML models without violating privacy concerns.
 
We focus our talk related to privacy-preserving ML, encryption mechanisms, membership inference attacks, differential privacy for large-scale distributed systems with a practical example of its usage in the IOT industry. We also demonstrate some hands-on samples of embedding privacy using deep learning frameworks with Keras and Tensorflow libraries.
