Differential privacy (DP) provides a powerful, mathematically rigorous assurance that sensitive individual information in a dataset remains protected, even when a dataset is used for analysis. Since DP’s inception nearly two decades ago, researchers have developed differentially private versions of myriad data analysis and machine learning methods, ranging from calculating simple statistics to fine-tuning complex AI models. However, the requirement for organizations to privatize every analytical technique can be complex, burdensome, and error-prone.Generative AI models like Gemini offer a simpler, more efficient solution. Instead of separately modifying every analysis method, they create a single private synthetic version of the original…

Teaching Gemini to spot exploding stars with just a few examples
Modern astronomy is a treasure hunt on a cosmic scale. Every night, telescopes around the globe scan the skies, searching for fleeting events like exploding stars (supernovae) that give us crucial insights into the workings of the universe. These surveys generate millions of alerts about potential discoveries, but there’s a catch: the vast majority are not real cosmic events but “bogus” signals from satellite trails, cosmic ray hits, or other instrumental artefacts.For years, astronomers have used specialized machine learning models, like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to sift through this data. While effective, these models often act as “black boxes,” providing…
