Catch a Blowfish Alive: A Demonstration of Policy-Aware Differential Privacy for Interactive Data Exploration
Summary: Demonstrates BlowfishDB, the first policy-aware DP system for interactive data exploration. Dynamic Blowfish privacy enables on-the-fly generation of smaller policies and representations at query time, preserving the same accuracy and privacy while reducing costs.
