In this paper, we introduce the imperfect shuffle differential privacy model, where messages sent from users are shuffled in an almost uniform manner before being observed by a curator for private aggregation. We then consider the private…
In distributed learning, the goal is to perform a learning task over data distributed across multiple nodes with minimal (expensive) communication. Prior work (Daume III et al., 2012) proposes a general model that bounds the communication…
We study spectral graph clustering under edge differential privacy. We propose a matrix shuffling mechanism that combines randomized edge flipping with a random permutation of the adjacency matrix. While edge flipping alone provides only a…
We study the problem of releasing the weights of all-pair shortest paths in a weighted undirected graph with differential privacy (DP). In this setting, the underlying graph is fixed and two graphs are neighbors if their edge weights differ…
The shuffle model enhances privacy by anonymizing users' reports through random permutation. This paper presents the first systematic study of the single-message shuffle model from an information-theoretic perspective. We analyze two…

Motivated by recent developments in the shuffle model of differential privacy, we propose a new approximate shuffling functionality called Alternating Shuffle, and provide a protocol implementing alternating shuffling in a single-server…
A fundamental task in wireless communication is channel estimation: Compute the channel parameters a signal undergoes while traveling from a transmitter to a receiver. In the case of delay-Doppler channel, i.e., a signal undergoes only…
We consider \emph{plurality consensus} in a network of $n$ nodes. Initially, each node has one of $k$ opinions. The nodes execute a (randomized) distributed protocol to agree on the plurality opinion (the opinion initially supported by the…
In this note, we consider the problem of differentially privately (DP) computing an anonymized histogram, which is defined as the multiset of counts of the input dataset (without bucket labels). In the low-privacy regime $\epsilon \geq 1$,…

We consider distributed plurality consensus in a complete graph of size $n$ with $k$ initial opinions. We design an efficient and simple protocol in the asynchronous communication model that ensures that all nodes eventually agree on the…
We resolve the randomized one-way communication complexity of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance. We show that there is an efficient one-way communication protocol using $\widetilde{O}(n/\alpha)$ bits for the problem of computing an…
Differentially private mechanisms achieving worst-case optimal error bounds (e.g., the classical Laplace mechanism) are well-studied in the literature. However, when typical data are far from the worst case, \emph{instance-specific} error…
Subgraph counting is fundamental for analyzing connection patterns or clustering tendencies in graph data. Recent studies have applied LDP (Local Differential Privacy) to subgraph counting to protect user privacy even against a data…
We consider the unweighted bipartite maximum matching problem in the one-pass turnstile streaming model where the input stream consists of edge insertions and deletions. In the insertion-only model, a one-pass $2$-approximation streaming…
The all-pairs shortest distances (APSD) with differential privacy (DP) problem takes as input an undirected, weighted graph $G = (V,E, \mathbf{w})$ and outputs a private estimate of the shortest distances in $G$ between all pairs of…
We study two basic problems regarding edit error, i.e. document exchange and error correcting codes for edit errors (insdel codes). For message length $n$ and edit error upper bound $k$, it is known that in both problems the optimal sketch…
