Privacy-Utility Trade-offs in Neural Networks for Medical Population Graphs: Insights from Differential Privacy and Graph Structure
We initiate an empirical investigation into differentially private graph neural networks on population graphs from the medical domain by examining privacy-utility trade-offs at different privacy levels on both real-world and synthetic datasets and performing auditing through membership inference attacks. Our findings highlight the potential and the challenges of this specific DP application area. Moreover, we find evidence that the underlying graph structure constitutes a potential factor for larger performance gaps by showing a correlation between the degree of graph homophily and the accuracy of the trained model.
