Abstract: 

Differential privacy in practice proved to be hard: there are a lot of subtle, easy-to-get-wrong implementation nuances, it can be difficult to preserve data utility, choose optimal parameters, interpret results, etc.

In this talk we introduce PipelineDP, a tool that allows Python developers to produce differentially-private versions of their data processing pipelines. PipelineDP was designed with small and massive applications in mind: it can be run both locally and on scalable data processing such as Apache Spark or Beam. Our aspiration is that PipelineDP allows differential privacy to be deployed in production by engineers who are not experts in DP.
