Plug-and-play differential privacy for your tensorflow code

#GoogleAI has just released a new library for training machine learning models with (differential) privacy for training data.

where you would write tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer
instead just swap in the DPGradientDescentOptimizer

Estimating the success of re-identifications in incomplete datasets using generative models

99.98% of Americans would be correctly re-identified in any dataset using 15 demographic attributes, suggesting that even heavily sampled anonymized datasets are unlikely to satisfy the modern standards for anonymization set forth by GDPR.

This is a big concern about privacy and a problem for Data Engineering, especially for those working with anonymized personal information. Paper provides a way to re-identify person from anonymized dataset, this can be useful for people who work for government or security companies
