Communication efficient privacy-preserving distributed optimization using adaptive differential quantization

Privacy issues and communication cost are both major concerns in distributed optimization in networks. There is often a trade-off between them because the encryption methods used for privacy-preservation often require expensive communication overhead. To address these issues, we, in this paper, propose a quantization-based approach to achieve...

Privacy-Preserving Distributed Processing: Metrics, Bounds and Algorithms

Privacy-preserving distributed processing has recently attracted considerable attention. It aims to design solutions for conducting signal processing tasks over networks in a decentralized fashion without violating privacy. Many existing algorithms can be adopted to solve this problem such as differential privacy, secure multiparty...

Adaptive-size dictionary learning using information theoretic criteria for image reconstruction from undersampled k-space data in low field magnetic resonance imaging

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe non-invasive and nonionizing medical imaging modality that is used to visualize the structure of human anatomy. Conventional (high-field) MRI scanners are very expensive to purchase, operate and maintain, which limit their use in many developing countries. This study is part of a project...
