- Abstract:
The article discusses Rakesh Agrawal, fellow at the IBM Almaden Research Center, and the devised methods to preserve the privacy of information in large databases. As a pioneer of data mining--the art of extracting useful patterns from masses of data--Rakesh Agrawal knew that this technology could take off only if privacy could be assured. Because the most important data are indeed sensitive--involving purchasing decisions, online searches, health records and the like--he sought ways to make misuse impossible once the information had been analyzed into a general trend. Recently he developed software that enables a computer to decide what to delete or, in less onerous cases, to quarantine data from all but the most privileged users.
