It's officially snake seasonšŸ! And while avoiding our slithery friends I listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/8)

Next was an amazing talk by Gabriel Kaptchuk on using and understanding differential privacy at @hcil_umd. After giving an excellent run-through of the DP approach itself, Kaptchuk convincingly demonstrates issues with interpretations and implementations of DP and approaches for improving these problems.
