SoK: Data Minimization in Machine Learning
Data minimization (DM) describes the principle of collecting only the data strictly necessary for a given task. It is a foundational principle across major data protection regulations like GDPR...
Data Minimization for GDPR Compliance in Machine Learning Models
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates the principle of data minimization, which requires that only data necessary to fulfill a certain purpose be collected. However, it can often be difficult to determine the minimal amount of data required, especially in complex machine learning models such as neural networks. We present a first-of-a-kind method to reduce the amount of personal data needed to perform predictions with a machine learning model, by removing or generalizing some of the input features. Our method makes use of the knowledge encoded within the model to produce a generalization that has little to no impact on its accuracy. This enables the creators and users of machine learning models to acheive data minimization, in a provable manner.
The Data Minimization Principle in Machine Learning
The principle of data minimization aims to reduce the amount of data collected, processed or retained to minimize the potential for misuse, unauthorized access, or data breaches. Rooted in...
