Abstract
The aggregated reverse kNN (ARkNN) query aims to identify one query record with the maximum influence set and has become a powerful tool to support optimal decision-making in crowdsensing. Considering data privacy and query privacy, ARkNN queries should be performed in a private manner. Unfortunately, existing schemes cannot support privacy-preserving ARkNN queries over crowd-sensed data. To address this issue, we propose two efficient and privacy-preserving ARkNN query schemes with different security levels, named the BARQ scheme and the EARQ scheme, where the former can only protect data privacy while the latter can protect both data privacy and query privacy. Specifically, we first formalize the models of privacy-preserving ARkNN queries and propose our BARQ scheme based on a random response (RR) frequency oracle. Then, we design a privacy-preserving hardware-assisted reverse kNN query determination (PRkD) scheme for privately determining whether a query record is among the RkNN of a data record. After that, we present our EARQ scheme by leveraging the PRkD scheme to protect query privacy and integrating the RR frequency oracle to protect data privacy. In addition, our rigorous security analysis demonstrates that the BARQ scheme can well protect data privacy, and the EARQ scheme can protect both data privacy and query privacy. Extensive experimental results illustrate that they have high accuracy in query results and are efficient in computational costs and communication overheads.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
