In this work, we give a new technique for analyzing individualized privacy accounting via the following simple observation: if an algorithm is one-sided add-DP, then its subsampled variant satisfies two-sided DP. From this, we obtain…

A common problem in private data analysis is the partition selection problem, where each user holds a set of partitions (e.g. keys in a GROUP BY operation) from a possibly unbounded set. The challenge here is in maximizing the set of…
