New method LEAPSC enhances privacy in deep joint source-channel coding

Researchers have developed LEAPSC, a novel method for privacy-preserving deep joint source-channel coding. This technique integrates in-loop least-squares concept erasure within a variational information bottleneck encoder to prevent sensitive attributes like gender or race from being leaked during data transmission. LEAPSC demonstrated strong performance on datasets such as CelebA and FairFace, achieving high task accuracy while keeping attacker accuracy near chance levels, outperforming existing adversarial baselines.

    Privacy-Preserving Deep Joint Source-Channel Coding with In-Loop Concept Erasure

    arXiv:2609.13393v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep joint source-channel coding (DeepJSCC) transmits learned semantic features efficiently but can leak sensitive attributes such as gender, race, or speaker identity. We propose LEAPSC (LEACE-in-the-loop privacy for semantic com…
