Current Research

I am currently working on a Membership Inference Attack in Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning, User aspect on Designing Machine Learning, and Cross-Culture Privacy Perception.

Perception of Machine Learning Designs
Primary Investigator: Rabeya Bosri
Supervisor: Bailey Kacsmar
University of Alberta
Other researchers: Vasisht Duddu, University of Waterloo. Anna Lorimer, University of Chicago

This study investigates how stakeholders perceive and prioritize trade-offs among privacy and fairness risks in machine learning (ML) models for high-stakes decision-making applications. Understanding these preferences is crucial for designing ML systems that effectively balance competing risks while maintaining stakeholder trust and ethical standards.

Membership Inference Attack in Federated Learning
Primary Investigator: Rabeya Bosri
Supervisor: Bailey Kacsmar
University of Alberta
Other researchers: Akemi Izuko University of Alberta.

This study investigates the privacy gurantees in differentially private federated learning. Specially, we are focusing membership inference attack in non-iid data settings.

Cross-Culture Privacy Perception on Social Media Sharing
Primary Investigator: Rabeya Bosri and Jialiang (Chuck) Yan
Supervisor: Bailey Kacsmar
University of Alberta

This study explores privacy perceptions and behaviors across cultures in shared technological environments like social media, focusing on identifying differences and potential similarities.
