Non-homogeneous Generalization in Privacy Preserving Data Publishing

Summary: Proposes non-homogeneous generalization for k-anonymity, reducing utility loss by varying quasi-identifiers inside partitions. Offers verification, a randomized defense against algorithm-aware attacks, and a partitioning technique that boosts data utility. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
