Researchers have developed a new framework called Adaptive Bounding of Clipping regions (ABC) to address the challenge of collecting numerical data under Local Differential Privacy (LDP) when the data domain is unknown. Existing LDP methods require a predefined domain, leading to information loss if values are clipped or degraded data quality if the domain is too broad. The ABC method allows users to send their perturbed data along with a signal indicating if their original value was clipped, enabling iterative adjustment of the domain. Theoretical analysis shows the estimated data domain converges to an appropriate range, and empirical evaluations demonstrate significant improvements in data quality across various datasets and LDP mechanisms.
