Privacy Preserving Predictions

Dear All,

You are cordially invited to attend the upcoming FRE Lecture on Thursday, March 28th at 6PM in the Event MakerSpace - Rogers Hall, 1st Floor. Dr. Antigoni Polychroniadou will present a talk on the following topic:

Title: 

Privacy Preserving Predictions

Abstract: 

While big data technology offers great promise, it introduces a challenge for privacy. Can we achieve the best of both worlds, extracting the benefits that big data offers while providing privacy to the data owner? Essentially, we would like to perform complex computations while preserving privacy. In this talk I am going to talk about privacy preserving computation and show how cryptography, streaming data and machine learning can support new ways of organizing predictive analytics.
