构建安全数据平台,让农民与研究者共享农业数据而不泄露隐私。
Digital Agriculture Sandbox for Collaborative Research
- 通过联邦学习与差分隐私保护农户数据隐私
- 农民可轻松找到相似农场,研究者可分析数据但不获取原始信息
- 适合关注农业数据隐私与协作的研究者及政策制定者
数字农业正通过技术提升粮食生产的效率、可持续性与产量。然而,尽管该领域产生大量有价值的数据,农民因隐私担忧不愿共享,限制了研究进展。本文提出数字农业沙盒(Digital Agriculture Sandbox),一个安全的在线协作平台,使缺乏技术资源的农户与研究人员能在不暴露敏感信息的前提下共同分析农场数据。平台采用联邦学习、差分隐私及数据分析技术,在保障数据隐私的同时维持其研究价值。农民可无需复杂计算即可识别相似农场;研究人员则可在数据不离开农户系统的情况下进行建模与工具开发。该平台为数据共享建立了可信环境,助力解决全球粮食与农业挑战。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Digital agriculture is transforming the way we grow food by utilizing technology to make farming more efficient, sustainable, and productive. This modern approach to agriculture generates a wealth of valuable data that could help address global food challenges, but farmers are hesitant to share it due to privacy concerns. This limits the extent to which researchers can learn from this data to inform improvements in farming. This paper presents the Digital Agriculture Sandbox, a secure online platform that solves this problem. The platform enables farmers (with limited technical resources) and researchers to collaborate on analyzing farm data without exposing private information. We employ specialized techniques such as federated learning, differential privacy, and data analysis methods to safeguard the data while maintaining its utility for research purposes. The system enables farmers to identify similar farmers in a simplified manner without needing extensive technical knowledge or access to computational resources. Similarly, it enables researchers to learn from the data and build helpful tools without the sensitive information ever leaving the farmer's system. This creates a safe space where farmers feel comfortable sharing data, allowing researchers to make important discoveries. Our platform helps bridge the gap between maintaining farm data privacy and utilizing that data to address critical food and farming challenges worldwide.
