We present an asymptotically optimal $(\epsilon,\delta)$ differentially private mechanism for answering multiple, adaptively asked, $\Delta$-sensitive queries, settling the conjecture of Steinke and Ullman [2020]. Our algorithm has a…
We show that the `optimal' use of the parallel composition theorem corresponds to finding the size of the largest subset of queries that `overlap' on the data domain, a quantity we call the \emph{maximum overlap} of the queries. It has…
In this paper we demonstrate that, ignoring computational constraints, it is possible to privately release synthetic databases that are useful for large classes of queries -- much larger in size than the database itself. Specifically, we…
In this paper, we consider the parameter estimation in a bandwidth-constrained sensor network communicating through an insecure medium. The sensor performs a local quantization, and transmits a 1-bit message to an estimation center through…

Graph Neural Networks have achieved tremendous success in modeling complex graph data in a variety of applications. However, there are limited studies investigating privacy protection in GNNs. In this work, we propose a learning framework…
When querying databases containing sensitive information, the privacy of individuals stored in the database has to be guaranteed. Such guarantees are provided by differentially private mechanisms which add controlled noise to the query…
We introduce a new notion of neighboring databases for coverage problems such as Max Cover and Set Cover under differential privacy. In contrast to the standard privacy notion for these problems, which is analogous to node-privacy in…

Many differentially private algorithms for answering database queries involve a step that reconstructs a discrete data distribution from noisy measurements. This provides consistent query answers and reduces error, but often requires space…
Recently differential privacy has been used for a number of streaming, data structure, and dynamic graph problems as a means of hiding the internal randomness of the data structure, so that multiple possibly adaptive queries can be made…

Differential privacy (DP), provides a framework for provable privacy protection against arbitrary adversaries, while allowing the release of summary statistics and synthetic data. We address the problem of releasing a noisy real-valued…
For databases consisting of many text documents, one of the most fundamental data analysis tasks is counting (i) how often a pattern appears as a substring in the database (substring counting) and (ii) how many documents in the collection…
Graph pattern counting serves as a cornerstone of network analysis with extensive real-world applications. Its integration with local differential privacy (LDP) has gained growing attention for protecting sensitive graph information in…
Online social networks are being increasingly used for analyzing various societal phenomena such as epidemiology, information dissemination, marketing and sentiment flow. Popular analysis techniques such as clustering and influential node…
Differential privacy is a framework for privately releasing summaries of a database. Previous work has focused mainly on methods for which the output is a finite dimensional vector, or an element of some discrete set. We develop methods for…
This paper develops a framework for privatizing the spectrum of the graph Laplacian of an undirected graph using differential privacy. We consider two privacy formulations. The first obfuscates the presence of edges in the graph and the…
Differential privacy is a standard framework to quantify the privacy loss in the data anonymization process. To preserve differential privacy, a random noise adding mechanism is widely adopted, where the trade-off between data privacy level…
