SUMMARY:Protecting privacy in dynamic decision making
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by the increasing ubiquity of large-scale
 data\ncollection infrastructures\, we investigate how to protect
 sensitive\ninformation in dynamic resource allocation problems. The central
 question\nis: how should one make resource allocation decisions such that
 these\ndecisions\, if observed and analyzed by an adversary\, do not
 inadvertently\nreveal private information of the decision maker? In this
 talk we will\nexamine two well known decision problems\, path planning and
 active learning\,\nand in each case provide tight information-theoretic
 upper and lower bounds\non the amount of additional resources required for
 a given level of privacy.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nBio: Kuang Xu was born in Suzhou\,
 China. He received the B.S. degree in\nElectrical Engineering (2009) from
 the University of Illinois at\nUrbana-Champaign\, Urbana\, Illinois\, USA\,
 and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical\nEngineering and Computer Science (2014)
 from the Massachusetts Institute of\nTechnology\, Cambridge\,
 Massachusetts\, USA. He was a postdoctoral fellow at\nthe Microsoft
 Research-Inria Joint Center in Paris\, France (2014-2015)\,\nhosted by
 Laurent Massoulié. His research interests lie in the fields of\napplied
 probability theory\, optimization\, and operations research\, seeking\nto
 understand fundamental properties and design principles of
 large-scale\nstochastic systems\, with applications in queueing networks\,
 healthcare\,\nprivacy and statistical learning theory. He has received
 several awards\nincluding a First Place in INFORMS George E. Nicholson
 Student Paper\nCompetition\, a Best Paper Award\, as well as a Kenneth C.
 Sevcik Outstanding\nStudent Paper Award from ACM SIGMETRICS.
