Abstract: In this talk, I'll give an introduction to differential privacy with an emphasis on its relationship to machine learning, and its usefulness outside of privacy. Along the way, I'll give a taste for the mathematical tools that can be used to achieve differential privacy. My thesis is that anyone who cares about data should care about the tools that the differential privacy literature offers.
