Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved pruning algorithm with memory, which we call improved EDP algorithm. This method provides the better trade-off between data quality and privacy protection against classification attacks. The proposed algorithm reduces the time complexity degree significantly, especially in the case of the complete binary tree of which worst-case time complexity is of order O(M logM), where M is the number of internal nodes of the complete tree. The experiments also show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and more efficient especially in the case of large and more complex tree structure with more internal nodes, etc. From a practical point of view, the improved EDP algorithm is more applicable and easy to implement.
