I mean, the text explains it:
Differentially-private data analysis is a principled approach that enables organizations to learn from the majority of their data while simultaneously ensuring that those results do not allow any individual's data to be distinguished or re-identified.
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoWell they don’t explain the mechanism well: > The 2006 paper presents both a mathematical definition of differential privacy and a mechanism based on the addition of Laplace noise that satisfies the definition.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThis is literally: "$Method is a $buzzword that enables $DesirableThing". If you already know that $DesirableThing is desirable, this sentence tells you nothing about how $Method works.
- chii 7y agoit may take too much technical expertise to know that $method works. For example, most people don't understand asymetric encryption, but still "blindly" trust that it works because they are told by a trusted authority.
- summerlight 7y agoProbably the method itself is too technical. I was usually told about it that applying Differential Privacy tries to guarantee that users won't get more information from two different databases, one with PII and one without.
