Optimal Universal Quantum Encoding for Statistical Inference

no code implementations12 Apr 2024 Farhad Farokhi

The optimal universal encoding strategy, i. e., the encoding strategy that maximizes the maximal quantum leakage, is proved to be attained by pure states.

Information Leakage from Data Updates in Machine Learning Models

no code implementations20 Sep 2023 Tian Hui, Farhad Farokhi, Olga Ohrimenko

We validate that two snapshots of the model can result in higher information leakage in comparison to having access to only the updated model.

Learning Safety Filters for Unknown Discrete-Time Linear Systems

no code implementations1 Nov 2021 Farhad Farokhi, Alex S. Leong, Mohammad Zamani, Iman Shames

A learning-based safety filter is developed for discrete-time linear time-invariant systems with unknown models subject to Gaussian noises with unknown covariance.

Toward nonlinear dynamic control over encrypted data for infinite time horizon

no code implementations12 Oct 2021 Junsoo Kim, Farhad Farokhi, Iman Shames, Hyungbo Shim

In this note, we demonstrate that it is possible to run a dynamic controller over encrypted data for an infinite time horizon if the output of the controller can be represented as a function of a fixed number of previous inputs and outputs.

Safe Learning of Uncertain Environments

no code implementations2 Mar 2021 Farhad Farokhi, Alex Leong, Iman Shames, Mohammad Zamani

We show that with an arbitrarily large probability we can guarantee that the state will remain in the safe set, while learning and control are carried out simultaneously, provided that a feasible solution exists for the optimization problem.

Optimal Pre-Processing to Achieve Fairness and Its Relationship with Total Variation Barycenter

no code implementations18 Jan 2021 Farhad Farokhi

Hence, the problem of finding the optimal pre-processing regiment for enforcing fairness can be cast as minimizing total variations distance between the distribution of the data before and after pre-processing subject to a constraint on the total variation distance between the distribution of the inputs given protected attributes.

Deconvoluting Kernel Density Estimation and Regression for Locally Differentially Private Data

no code implementations28 Aug 2020 Farhad Farokhi

However, locally differential data can twist the probability density of the data because of the additive noise used to ensure privacy.

Online Stochastic Convex Optimization: Wasserstein Distance Variation

no code implementations2 Jun 2020 Iman Shames, Farhad Farokhi

Distributionally-robust optimization is often studied for a fixed set of distributions rather than time-varying distributions that can drift significantly over time (which is, for instance, the case in finance and sociology due to underlying expansion of economy and evolution of demographics).

Bounded State Estimation over Finite-State Channels: Relating Topological Entropy and Zero-Error Capacity

We investigate state estimation of linear systems over channels having a finite state not known by the transmitter or receiver.

The Cost of Privacy in Asynchronous Differentially-Private Machine Learning

no code implementations18 Mar 2020 Farhad Farokhi, Nan Wu, David Smith, Mohamed Ali Kaafar

The experiments illustrate that collaboration among more than 10 data owners with at least 10, 000 records with privacy budgets greater than or equal to 1 results in a superior machine-learning model in comparison to a model trained in isolation on only one of the datasets, illustrating the value of collaboration and the cost of the privacy.

Regularization Helps with Mitigating Poisoning Attacks: Distributionally-Robust Machine Learning Using the Wasserstein Distance

no code implementations29 Jan 2020 Farhad Farokhi

We provide performance guarantees for the trained model on the original data (not including the poison records) by training the model for the worst-case distribution on a neighbourhood around the empirical distribution (extracted from the training dataset corrupted by a poisoning attack) defined using the Wasserstein distance.
