Title:        Differential Privacy for Data Analysis

Abstract:
Differential privacy is a robust concept of privacy. It brings mathematical
rigor to the decades-old problem of privacy-preserving analysis of
collections of sensitive personal information. Informally, differential
privacy requires an analysis' outcome would remain stable under any
possible change to a single  individual's information.

The rich research of differential privacy has uncovered deep connections to
many research areas, including learning theory, cryptography, complexity
theory, algorithmic game theory, and statistics. After a brief introduction
to differential privacy, we will look intro some of these connections,
focusing on how differential privacy can serve as a tool for data analysis,
even in cases where privacy is not a goal.

The talk will be self contained. No prior knowledge of differential privacy
will be assumed.
