We study private prediction where differential privacy is achieved by adding noise to the outputs of a non-private model. Existing methods rely on noise proportional to the global sensitivity of the model, often resulting in sub-optimal…

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…
