The fields of privacy protection, secure aggregation, deep learning, volumetric video, large language models, and machine learning are rapidly evolving. A common theme among these areas is the development of innovative methods to protect sensitive information and prevent adversarial attacks.
Recent research in privacy protection and secure aggregation has explored the use of pointwise maximal leakage privacy, differential privacy, and mutual-information privacy to protect the privacy of discrete-time linear time-invariant systems and federated learning models. Noteworthy papers include the proposal of a new systematic approach to protect the privacy of discrete-time linear time-invariant systems and the development of Armadillo, a secure aggregation system that provides disruptive resistance against adversarial clients.
In deep learning, researchers are exploring efficient model compression and data curation techniques to reduce computational costs and improve performance. Noteworthy papers include Beyond One-Way Pruning, UNSEEN, Weight Variance Amplifier, and Teacher-Guided One-Shot Pruning, which propose innovative methods to prune neural networks and retain essential representations.
The field of volumetric video and immersive media is moving towards more efficient and secure delivery methods. Researchers are exploring new architectures and techniques to reduce latency and improve privacy, such as content-aware encryption and decoupled representation learning. Noteworthy papers include Privis, DeCo-VAE, CPSL, and Privacy-Preserving IoT.
Large language models are also a focus area, with researchers developing innovative methods to identify and mitigate privacy risks, including differential privacy and verifiable rewards. Noteworthy papers include Tight and Practical Privacy Auditing, GRPO Privacy, Membership Inference Attack, and Effective Code Membership Inference.
Finally, machine learning is moving towards developing more robust and privacy-preserving methods, with a focus on machine unlearning and image reconstruction. Noteworthy papers include AUVIC, Forgetting-MarI, and Erase to Retain, which propose novel frameworks for visual concept unlearning, synthetic forgetting, and selective wavelet reconstruction.
Overall, these fields are advancing towards a more secure and private paradigm, with a focus on developing innovative methods to protect sensitive information and prevent adversarial attacks.
