Differentially Private Motif-Preserving Multi-modal Hashing
Cross-modal hashing enables efficient retrieval by encoding images and text into compact binary codes. State-of-the-art methods rely on semantic similarity graphs derived from user interactions for supervision, yet these graphs encode sensitive behavioral patterns vulnerable to link reconstruction attacks. Existing privacy-preserving approaches fail on graph-structured data: Differentially Private SGD destroys relational motifs by treating samples independently, while graph synthesis methods suffer from unbounded local sensitivity in scale-free networks, hub nodes cause single-edge modifications to alter triangle counts by $\mathcal{O}(N)$, necessitating prohibitive noise injection. We te...
