Announcement
Students to present new differential privacy results
Congratulations are in order for Professor Adam Groce and computer science student Kaiyan Shi '20 who, along with statistics students Simon Couch '21 and Zeki Kazan '20 and Professor of Statistics Andrew Bray, will be presenting their paper "Differentially Private Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing" at the 26th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2019) held during November 11th-15th in London of this year.
One of the algorithms presented in this CCS publication was awarded a national prize for undergraduate statistics research, as featured in the Reed Magazine article "The Privacy Puzzle."
This follows another publication this year from the Groce and Bray research group, the paper "Improved Differentially Private Analysis of Variance" presented at the 19th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS 2019) in July of 2019 authored by recent CS alums Marika Swanberg '19 and Ira Globus-Harris '19.
You can read these and other Reed CS publications using the links at our Publications page. Reed Magazine also featured Groce's and Bray's work, done in collaboration with computational biologist Anny Ritz of the Biology Department, in the article "Reed Data Scientists Want To Safeguard Your Privacy" which talks about their $345K NSF SaTC grant.
