Towards Protecting Sensitive Text with Differential Privacy

Natural language processing can often require handling privacy-sensitive text. To avoid revealing confidential information, data owners and practitioners can use differential privacy, which provides a mathematically guaranteeable definition of privacy preservation. In this work, we explore the possibility of applying differential privacy to feature hashing. Feature hashing is a common technique for handling out-of-dictionary vocabulary, and for creating a lookup table to find feature weights in constant time. Traditionally, differential privacy involves adding noise to hide the true value of data points.
