Differentially Private Motif-Preserving Multi-modal Hashing
The paper presents a novel approach to cross-modal hashing that preserves privacy while enabling efficient retrieval of images and text. The proposed method, DMP-MH, addresses vulnerabilities in existing privacy-preserving techniques by employing a Sanitize-then-Distill framework. Experimental results show that DMP-MH significantly outperforms private baselines while maintaining high performance levels.
- ▪DMP-MH is a framework designed to enhance privacy in cross-modal hashing.
- ▪The method addresses issues related to sensitive behavioral patterns in semantic similarity graphs.
- ▪Experimental evaluations indicate that DMP-MH outperforms existing private methods by up to 11.4 mAP points.

State-of-the-art methods rely on semantic similarity graphs derived from user interactions for supervision, yet these graphs encode sensitive behavioral patterns vulnerable to link reconstruction attacks.
