演讲简介

The development of information and communication technologies have resulted in an unprecedented large-scale data being available. On the one hand, the large-scale data can help improve various domains of people's life quality and serve as the fuel for the development of machine learning techniques. On the other hand, it can cause severe risks to people's privacy. In this talk, I will first present our recent research results on using machine learning techniques to assess privacy risks of social network data. Then, I will focus on understanding privacy leakage caused by machine learning models. In particular, I will discuss our newest results on membership inference and data reconstruction.
