Data perturbation under differential privacy constraint is an important approach of protecting data privacy. However, as the data dimensions increase, the privacy budget allocated to each dimension decreases and thus the amount of noise added increases, which eventually leads to lower data utility in training tasks. To protect the privacy of training data while enhancing data utility, we propose a Utility-aware training data Privacy Perturbation scheme based on attribute Partition and budget Allocation (UPPPA). UPPPA includes three procedures: the quantification of attribute privacy and attribute importance, attribute partition, and budget allocation. The quantification of attribute privacy and attribute importance based on information entropy and attribute correlation provide an arithmetic basis for attribute partition and budget allocation. During the attribute partition, all attributes of training data are classified into high and low classes to achieve privacy amplification and utility enhancement. During the budget allocation, a.-privacy model is proposed to balance data privacy and data utility so as to provide privacy constraint and guide budget allocation. Three comprehensive sets of real-world data are applied to evaluate the performance of UPPPA. Experiments and privacy analysis show that our scheme can achieve the tradeoffbetween privacy and utility.
