(LaTeX) Abstract:
The NP-hard \textsc{$k$-Anonymity}
problem asks, given an~$n \times m$-matrix~$M$ over a
fixed alphabet and an integer~$s>0$, whether~$M$ can be made
$k$-anonymous by suppressing (blanking out) at most~$s$
entries. A matrix~$M$ is said to be $k$-anonymous if for each
row~$r$ in~$M$ there are at least~$k-1$ other rows in~$M$ which
are identical to~$r$. Complementing previous work, we introduce two new
``data-driven'' parameterizations for \textsc{$k$-Anonymity}---the number~$\tin$ of
different input rows and the number~$\tout$ of different output rows---both
modeling aspects of data homogeneity. We show that \textsc{$k$-Anonymity}
is fixed-parameter tractable for the parameter~$\tin$, and it is
NP-hard even for~$\tout = 2$ and alphabet size four.
Notably, our fixed-parameter tractability result implies that
\textsc{$k$-Anonymity} can be solved in \emph{linear time} when~$\tin$ is a
constant. Our results also extend to some interesting
generalizations of \textsc{$k$-Anonymity}.
