Anand D. Sarwate

I am a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I also am a member of the graduate faculty in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Statistics. I like to work on problems that involve probability, mathematical statistics, and optimization, with applications in information theory, communication, signal processing, and machine learning. I’m particularly interested in how these things intersect in the context of distributed/decentralized systems with constraints like privacy, bandwidth, latency, power, and so on.

This page is still somewhat under construction. I anticipate that will be the state for quite a while.

Federated Privacy-Preserving Visualization: A Vision Paper

Abs DOI URL Bib

Privacy protection is important in visualization due to the risk of leaking personal sensitive information. In this paper, we study the problem of privacy-preserving visualizations using differential privacy, employing biomedical data from neuroimaging as a use case. We investigate several approaches based on perturbing correlation values and characterize their privacy cost and the impact of pre- and post-processing. To obtain a better privacy/visual utility tradeoff, we propose workflows for connectogram and seed-based connectivity visualizations, respectively. These workflows successfully generate visualizations similar to their non-private counterparts. Experiments show that qualitative assessments can be preserved while guaranteeing privacy. These results show that differential privacy is a promising method for protecting sensitive information in data visualization.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.

Abs DOI URL Bib Local

Summary Structural neuroimaging studies have identified a combination of shared and disorder-specific patterns of gray matter (GM) deficits across psychiatric disorders. Pooling large data allows for examination of a possible common neuroanatomical basis that may identify a certain vulnerability for mental illness. Large-scale collaborative research is already facilitated by data repositories, institutionally supported databases, and data archives. However, these data-sharing methodologies can suffer from significant barriers. Federated approaches augment these approaches by enabling access or more sophisticated, shareable and scaled-up analyses of large-scale data. We examined GM alterations using Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite Toolkit for Anonymous Computation, an open-source, decentralized analysis application. Through federated analysis of eight sites, we identified significant overlap in the GM patterns (n = 4,102) of individuals with schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. These results show cortical and subcortical regions that may indicate a shared vulnerability to psychiatric disorders.

Enhancing collaborative neuroimaging research: introducing COINSTAC Vaults for federated analysis and reproducibility
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics Jun 2023
.

Abs DOI URL Bib

Collaborative neuroimaging research is often hindered by technological, policy, administrative, and methodological barriers, despite the abundance of available data. COINSTAC (The Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite Toolkit for Anonymous Computation) is a platform that successfully tackles these challenges through federated analysis, allowing researchers to analyze datasets without publicly sharing their data. This paper presents a significant enhancement to the COINSTAC platform: COINSTAC Vaults (CVs). CVs are designed to further reduce barriers by hosting standardized, persistent, and highly-available datasets, while seamlessly integrating with COINSTAC’s federated analysis capabilities. CVs offer a user-friendly interface for self-service analysis, streamlining collaboration, and eliminating the need for manual coordination with data owners. Importantly, CVs can also be used in conjunction with open data as well, by simply creating a CV hosting the open data one would like to include in the analysis, thus filling an important gap in the data sharing ecosystem. We demonstrate the impact of CVs through several functional and structural neuroimaging studies utilizing federated analysis showcasing their potential to improve the reproducibility of research and increase sample sizes in neuroimaging studies.
