在差分隐私下生成保持结构特性的图嵌入,兼顾安全与精度。

Structure-Preference Enabled Graph Embedding Generation under Differential Privacy

  • 通过扰动非零向量实现统一噪声容忍,降低敏感度影响。
  • 理论证明跳元模型可保留任意节点邻近关系,支持自定义结构偏好。
  • 在结构等价和链接预测任务中优于现有最优方法。

图嵌入技术旨在为图中每个节点学习低维向量,支持结构等价和链接预测等分析任务。然而,不当发布可能暴露敏感信息,使攻击者从低维向量中推断个体隐私。现有方法采用差分隐私(DP)保护,但常因注入过多噪声导致性能下降,且无法满足特定结构偏好。本文提出基于跳元模型的SE-PrivGEmb,在差分隐私下实现结构偏好增强的图嵌入生成。针对任意结构偏好,设计统一噪声容忍机制,通过扰动非零向量缓解高敏感度带来的效用损失。通过精心设计跳元模型中的负采样概率,理论上证明其可保持任意邻近性,量化图中结构特征。大量实验表明,该方法在结构等价与链接预测任务上均超越现有最先进方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Graph embedding generation techniques aim to learn low-dimensional vectors for each node in a graph and have recently gained increasing research attention. Publishing low-dimensional node vectors enables various graph analysis tasks, such as structural equivalence and link prediction. Yet, improper publication opens a backdoor to malicious attackers, who can infer sensitive information of individuals from the low-dimensional node vectors. Existing methods tackle this issue by developing deep graph learning models with differential privacy (DP). However, they often suffer from large noise injections and cannot provide structural preferences consistent with mining objectives. Recently, skip-gram based graph embedding generation techniques are widely used due to their ability to extract customizable structures. Based on skip-gram, we present SE-PrivGEmb, a structure-preference enabled graph embedding generation under DP. For arbitrary structure preferences, we design a unified noise tolerance mechanism via perturbing non-zero vectors. This mechanism mitigates utility degradation caused by high sensitivity. By carefully designing negative sampling probabilities in skip-gram, we theoretically demonstrate that skip-gram can preserve arbitrary proximities, which quantify structural features in graphs. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods under structural equivalence and link prediction tasks.
