ltering task. We then associate the range of the proxy function with sampling probabilities; given a new data sample, we classify it using our proxy function and then select it for our sample with probability proportional to the sampling probability corresponding to its proxy classification.  Importantly, we require that the proxy classification does not reveal significant information about the sensitive group membership of any individual sample (i.e., the level of disclosure should be controlled). We show that under modest algorithmic assumptions, we find such a proxy in a sample- and oracle-efficient manner. Finally, we experimentally evaluate our algorithm and analyze its generalization properties.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font face="georgia, serif" color="#000000"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif"><br></font></p><div class="gmail_default"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><b><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif">*********************************************************************************************</font></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;line-height:15.6933px"><font face="georgia, serif" color="#000000"><b>Masks are optional in all common areas. </b><b>Full visitor guidance is available at <a href="http://ttic.edu/visitors" target="_blank">ttic.edu/visitors</a>.</b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 12pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;line-height:15.6933px"><b><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif">*********************************************************************************************</font></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><b><i><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif">Research at TTIC Seminar Series</font></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font color="#000000" face="georgia, serif"> </font></p><div class="gmail_default"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font face="georgia, serif" color="#000000">TTIC is hosting a weekly seminar series presenting the research currently underway at the Institute. Every week a different TTIC faculty member will present their research.  The lectures are intended for students seeking research topics and advisors and for the general TTIC and University of Chicago communities interested in hearing what their colleagues are up to.</font></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">--</span><br style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div dir="ltr"><b><font color="#3d85c6">Brandie Jones </font></b><div><div><div><font color="#3d85c6"><b><i>Executive </i></b></font><b style="color:rgb(61,133,198)"><i>Administrative Assistant</i></b></div></div><div><font color="#3d85c6">Toyota Technological Institute</font></div><div><font color="#3d85c6">6045 S. Kenwood Avenue</font></div><div><font color="#3d85c6">Chicago, IL  60637</font></div></div><div><font color="#3d85c6"><a href="http://www.ttic.edu/" target="_blank">www.ttic.edu</a> </font></div><div><font color="#3d85c6"><div style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)"><div style="color:rgb(32,33,36)"><span style="color:rgb(61,133,198)">Working Remotely on Tuesdays</span></div></div></font></div></div></div></div></div>
