ELSA Workshop on Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning

March 16-21, 2025 - Bertinoro, Italy

About the workshop

The workshop is part of the activities of the ELSA Network of Excellence, and it will focus on the issue of privacy in machine learning in general, and federated learning in particular.

The issue of privacy in machine learning has received a lot of attention by the scientific community, and several approaches have been proposed, involving differential privacy, secure multi-party computation, secure aggregation, homomorphic encryption, etc. However, the proposed solutions so far suffer from various limitations in terms of trade-offs between accuracy, privacy, efficiency, and personalization.

The purpose of this workshop is to be a forum for discussing recent advances in the above topics area, and foster collaborations among researchers interested in advancing the state-of-the-art.

Venue

The workshop will take place at the CEUB, the Bertinoro University Center. Bertinoro is a beutiful medieval village, situated at the top of a steep hill, in the region of Emila Romagna, Italy. The CEUB is located in the ancient fortress of Bertinoro (residence of the emperor Federico Barbarossa in 1177), from which one can enjoy a breathtaking view of the land around the hill.

Besides the natural and artistic treasures, the region is also renown for its gastronomic specialties (tortellini, prosciutto di Parma, lasagne bolognesi, piadina, parmigiano reggiano, ...), which the participants will have the pleasure to taste in the numerous local restaurants and trattorie.

The accomodations will be provided at the fortress and in some of the hotels nearby.
