Quantiles are often used for summarizing and understanding data. If that data is sensitive, it may be necessary to compute quantiles in a way that is differentially private, providing theoretical guarantees that the result does not reveal…

Much of the research in differential privacy has focused on offline applications with the assumption that all data is available at once. When these algorithms are applied in practice to streams where data is collected over time, this either…

The streaming model of computation is a popular approach for working with large-scale data. In this setting, there is a stream of items and the goal is to compute the desired quantities (usually data statistics) while making a single pass…

In this work we consider the problem of differentially private computation of quantiles for the data, especially the highest quantiles such as maximum, but with an unbounded range for the dataset. We show that this can be done efficiently…

In the approximate quantiles problem, the goal is to output $m$ quantile estimates, the ranks of which are as close as possible to $m$ given quantiles $0 \leq q_1 \leq\dots \leq q_m \leq 1$. We present a mechanism for approximate quantiles…

We generalize the continuous observation privacy setting from Dwork et al. '10 and Chan et al. '11 by allowing each event in a stream to be a subset of some (possibly unknown) universe of items. We design differentially private (DP)…
