New paper explores information bottleneck under perfect privacy

This paper explores the information bottleneck principle under the condition of perfect privacy, focusing on scenarios where the representation-rate constraint is active. The objective is to create a representation that maintains utility-relevant information while being statistically independent of a sensitive variable. This strict independence requirement adds a layer of complexity beyond the standard rate-relevance trade-off. To address this, the authors propose an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-based approach, demonstrating its global convergence and characterizing its rate using the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz exponent, with extensions for inexact updates.

    Information Bottleneck under Perfect Privacy

    arXiv:2608.11003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work, we study the information bottleneck under perfect privacy, with particular emphasis on the active-rate regime, where the representation-rate constraint is binding and directly limits the achievable utility. The goal …
