Injecting Utility into Anonymized Datasets

Summary: Introduces a formal utility metric for anonymized data and critiques existing heuristic utility measures. Builds a framework to inject semantically meaningful information into k-anonymity and l-diversity tables, boosting utility while preserving privacy guarantees.
