User-level privacy is important in distributed systems. Previous research primarily focuses on the central model, while the local models have received much less attention. Under the central model, user-level DP is strictly stronger than the…

Normalizing flow models have risen as a popular solution to the problem of density estimation, enabling high-quality synthetic data generation as well as exact probability density evaluation. However, in contexts where individuals are…
We study a setting of collecting and learning from private data distributed across end users. In the shuffled model of differential privacy, the end users partially protect their data locally before sharing it, and their data is also…
Our research delves into the balance between maintaining privacy and preserving statistical accuracy when dealing with multivariate data that is subject to \textit{componentwise local differential privacy} (CLDP). With CLDP, each component…
Differential privacy is one of the methods to solve the problem of privacy protection in federated learning. Setting the same privacy budget for each round will result in reduced accuracy in training. The existing methods of the adjustment…

Differential Privacy (DP) is a rigorous privacy standard widely adopted in data analysis and machine learning. However, its guarantees rely on correctly introducing randomized noise--an assumption that may not hold if the implementation is…
Differential Privacy (DP) provides an elegant mathematical framework for defining a provable disclosure risk in the presence of arbitrary adversaries; it guarantees that whether an individual is in a database or not, the results of a DP…
\epsilon-differential privacy is the state-of-the-art model for releasing sensitive information while protecting privacy. Numerous methods have been proposed to enforce epsilon-differential privacy in various analytical tasks, e.g.,…

Given a collection of vectors $x^{(1)},\dots,x^{(n)} \in \{0,1\}^d$, the selection problem asks to report the index of an "approximately largest" entry in $x=\sum_{j=1}^n x^{(j)}$. Selection abstracts a host of problems--in machine learning…
