Researchers propose new method to stabilize private LASSO under heterogeneous covariates

Researchers have developed a new method to stabilize the LASSO algorithm when dealing with heterogeneous covariate scales under differential privacy constraints. Their approach, termed Gram-based anisotropic objective perturbation, aims to counteract distortions caused by varying covariate structures without consuming additional privacy budget. This technique, analyzed using an Approximate Message Passing framework, reportedly enhances convergence stability and improves both statistical efficiency and privacy performance compared to traditional uniform noise injection.
