A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control (2013)
Journal Article
Staggemeier, A., Serpell, M., Smith, J., Clark, A., & Staggemeier, A. T. (2013). A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control. Information Sciences, 238, 22-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2013.02.006

As organizations start to publish the data that they collect, either internally or externally, in the form of statistical tables they need to consider the protection of the confidential information held in those tables. The algorithms used to protect... Read More about A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control.

Initial application of ant colony optimisation to statistical disclosure control (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Serpell, M., & Smith, J. (2013, July). Initial application of ant colony optimisation to statistical disclosure control. Paper presented at Fifteenth annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, Amsterdam

In this paper Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) is applied in the field of Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) for the first time. It has been applied to a permutation problem found in Cell Suppression. ACO has successfully improved the suppression patt... Read More about Initial application of ant colony optimisation to statistical disclosure control.
