Emiliano De Cristofaro @emilianodc.com · 12/08/2025Ever struggled with managing your pubs to create an NSF BioSketch using MyNCBI's My Bibliography? I think I have finally found a decent way to handle stuff, sharing in case it helps... (Step 5 is the one that took me the longest!) www.linkedin.com/posts/activi... 020
Emiliano De Cristofaro @emilianodc.com · 31/07/2025📣 Upcoming CCS'25 paper 📣 The Importance of Being Discrete: Measuring the Impact of Discretization in End-to-End Differentially Private Synthetic Data We investigate the critical yet overlooked role of discretization in end-to-end differentially private (DP) tabular synthetic data generation 131
Emiliano De Cristofaro @emilianodc.com · 14/05/2025Huge congrats to @spalab.cs.ucr.edu's Georgi Ganev for receiving the Distinguished Paper Award at IEEE S&P for his work "The Inadequacy of Similarity-based Privacy Metrics: Privacy Attacks against “Truly Anonymous” Synthetic Datasets." Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2312.051... 1184
Emiliano De Cristofaro @emilianodc.com · 16/04/2025Georgi's paper, Understanding the Impact of Data Domain Extraction on Synthetic Data Privacy, will be presented at the ICLR SynthData workshop next week. A "tiny" paper studying the impact of how you extract the data domain from tabular datasets while training generative models for synthetic data. 100

Emiliano De Cristofaro @emilianodc.com · 11/02/2025TL;DR: - We analyze 6 implementations of PATE-GAN, including 3 by the original authors. - None reproduce the utility reported in the original paper - All implementations leak more privacy than intended - We uncover 19 privacy violations and 5 other bugs 010
