Seminar on Differential Privacy
Differential privacy is a relatively new concept that is increasingly being researched in both statistics and IT security.
In this seminar we will discuss Differential Privacy using a lecture script.
The seminar is aimed at students of the BSc. and MSc..
The date for the preliminary discussion is on Thursday 16.07.2020 at 4PM in Wasserstraße 221 Floor 4.
If questions arise, please contact Önder Askin or Lars Schlieper.
