Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for adaptive privacy-preserving information retrieval. An information server can accept from a user a request for privacy sensitive information accessible to the information server. The information server can determine a remaining privacy allocation for the user of the information server and can determine a noise parameter for a response to the request, where application of the noise parameter to the response can decrease a privacy loss associated with the response. The information server can determine a privacy modifier for the response. In response to the information server determining that the remaining privacy allocation satisfies the privacy modifier, the information server can: (i) determining the response to the request; (ii) apply the noise parameter to the response to produce a noised response; (iii) provide the noised response to the user; and (iv) adjust the remaining privacy allocation according to the privacy modifier.
