New privacy framework 'predictability' offers fine-grained control beyond differential privacy

Researchers have introduced a new privacy framework called "privacy via predictability" that offers a more fine-grained approach than traditional differential privacy. This method accounts for an attacker's specific knowledge and the characteristics of the data, measuring privacy leakage by the attacker's ability to predict sensitive information. The framework is shown to be generally incomparable to differential privacy but can imply mutual-information differential privacy in certain worst-case scenarios. A new method using generalized method of moments (GMM) is proposed for analyzing predictability, leading to a predictability-calibrated output perturbation scheme for empirical risk minimization (ERM).
