Much of the research in differential privacy to date falls short of private industry requirements in its ability to scale and data-proven success. However, most researchers do not have access to real-world data to prove new techniques. In this talk, Uber's privacy engineering team and Berkeley researchers discuss the story behind their pragmatic collaboration and how it led to multiple open source releases from their differential privacy stack.
