privacy-preserving, and secure), especially in critical applications such as healthcare, finance, etc. Achieving trustworthy ML with different learning paradigms and application domains is challenging, given the complicated trade-off among utility, scalability,
privacy, explainability, and security. To bring trustworthy ML to real-world adoption, I developed a series of novel privacy-preserving mechanisms in which the trade-off between model utility and trustworthiness is optimized in different application domains,
including natural language models, federated learning with human and mobile sensing applications, image classification, and explainable AI. The proposed mechanisms have reached deployment levels of commercialized systems in real-world trials while providing
trustworthiness with marginal utility drops and rigorous theoretical guarantees. The developed solutions will enable safe, efficient, and practical analyses of rich and diverse user-generated data in many application domains.<br>
