Supporting Infrastructure was needed for building out a system to produce privatized information for public disclosure from the 2020 Census.

02 / Knexus Approach

What we designed and delivered.

Develop a system that can produce private Census data for public disclosure.

Build tool to convert 2010 data into the 2020 Census format and produce a test dataset that can be used for rapid experimentation.
Built and managed a Jenkins system that integrates with all Disclosure Avoidance Census code to ensure smoother production and code iteration.
Leveraged AWS Cloud Infrastructure to create versioned testing tools that allowed for reproducibility of tests on any current or historical version of the DAS system.
Brought scientific research code to production ready standards for improved performance, legibility, and flexibility.
03 / Mission Impact

The difference it made.

300 HRS
labor saved per 2,000 test runs
Census has been able to publish multiple privatized datasets to the public using our tool.
Saved data scientists on average 300 hours of labor per 2000 runs by automating the process dedicated to running privacy tests on data.
