Privacy-MaxEnt: Integrating Background Knowledge in Privacy Quantification

Summary: Privacy-MaxEnt uses maximum entropy to quantify privacy in PPDP, modeling P(SA|QI) as unknowns constrained by background knowledge and published data. It yields the least-biased P(SA|QI) under all constraints, providing a principled privacy metric. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
