Over the past two decades, digital information collected by corporations, organizations and governments has resulted in huge number of datasets, and the speed of such data collection has increased dramatically over the last a few years. A data collector, also known as a curator, is in charge of releasing and publishing data for data mining and some applications. However, most of the collected datasets are personally related and contain private or sensitive information. Even though curators can apply several simple anonymization techniques, there is still a high probability that the sensitive information of individuals has a high probability to be disclosed. Privacy-preserving has therefore become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.

Research communities have proposed various methods to preserve privacy and have designed a number of metrics to evaluate the privacy level of these methods. The interest in this area is very high and the notion is spanning in a range of research areas, ranging from the privacy community, to the data science communities including machine learning, data mining, statistics and learning theory. Much work has been conducted in a number of application domains, including social network, online education, recommender systems and tourism. A significant number of new technologies and applications have appeared in the privacy-preserving research area. We believe that it is a good time to cover these topics in the special session, which will include recent advances and applications in the privacy preserving research in data mining and diverse applications.
