Semantic microaggregation for the anonymization of query logs using the open directory project

Web search engines gather information from the queries performed by the user in the form of query logs. These logs are extremely useful for research, marketing, or profiling, but at the same time they are a great threat to the user’s privacy. We provide a novel approach to anonymize query logs so th...
