The question behind it

Can a recommender learn what you like without learning who you are?

The core of my doctoral work. Differential privacy adds calibrated noise so that no single person can be reverse-engineered out of a model. The catch is that noise costs accuracy, and these papers measure that trade-off and find where a recommender stays useful.

A plain-language summary of this paper is on its way here. The full text will follow wherever the publisher permits me to host it.
