In this post, we will show a simple tutorial describing the process of adding differential privacy to the United States Broadband Usage Percentages Dataset. The tutorial will go through all steps of a data release project, from defining all data aggregations and computations in a non-private setting and identifying the points in the pipeline where data transformations, such as clamping, are necessary, all the way to implementing the data pipeline with the appropriate differential privacy mechanism using OpenDP….
The Swiss Federal Statistics Office (FSO) published a co-authored blog about our collaborative work to help develop solutions with OpenDP that could be used within the Swiss administration and beyond. …
This release features new measurements and transformations, expanded functionality of user-defined primitives, proofs, and R-language bindings. We are continually working on improving the usability and expanding audiences that would benefit from the library. This is a major step in that direction with additional features coming this next quarter. Read more about them below!…
