用核方法实现非线性数据协作，提升隐私保护下的分类准确率

Collaborative analysis of decentralized confidential datasets is important, but direct sharing of original datasets is often restricted by privacy and institutional constraints. Data collaboration (DC) analysis transforms each dataset into privacy-preserving intermediate representations via party-specific obfuscation functions and integrates them into common collaboration representations using an anchor dataset. However, many existing DC analysis methods rely on linear transformations for data obfuscation and integration, which may increase reconstruction risk. Although nonlinear dimensionality reduction can mitigate this risk, conventional linear integration methods cannot accurately align intermediate representations produced by nonlinear transformations. Moreover, existing integration methods mainly minimize discrepancies among parties and do not explicitly incorporate geometric or target-variable information useful for downstream analysis. To overcome these limitations, we first formulate linear target-normalized integration (LTI) as a linear integration method and then kernelize it to obtain kernel-based target-normalized integration (KTI). KTI admits a globally optimal solution via kernel ridge regression and an eigenvalue problem. We also introduce graph regularization and a centering constraint so that the target representation can capture geometric and target-variable information useful for downstream analysis. Experiments on image classification tasks demonstrate that KTI improves classification accuracy over existing linear integration methods under nonlinear dimensionality reduction, with further gains from target-variable-aware graph regularization and centering. The results also show that dimensionality reduction choices substantially affect both classification accuracy and reconstruction risk.
