Privacy Preservation by Disassociation

Summary: Proposes disassociation, a data-anonymization method for sparse multidimensional data that preserves terms while hiding co-occurrence. Shows k^m-anonymity by suppressing co-location, not term hiding; benchmarked against generalization and differential privacy. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
