•Master's thesis supervised by Muriel Médard in the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics department
•IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing 2023 paper submission accepted: "InfoShape: Task-Based Neural Data Shaping via
Mutual Information" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.15034)
•Designed and implemented a novel Lagrangian optimization scheme for a neural network encoder with a mutual information estimator, ReMINE (Choi et. al.), using Pytorch, NumPy, and sklearn
•Empirically demonstrated InfoShape's ability to shape synthetic data to achieve both a 35% decrease in privacy leakage and a utility score increase by a factor of 5.1
