Researchers have established optimal rates for stochastic convex optimization under pure $\varepsilon$-differential privacy, specifically addressing scenarios with heavy-tailed gradients. Their work characterizes the minimax optimal excess-risk rate, achieving it with a novel algorithm that privately optimizes Lipschitz extensions of the empirical loss. This algorithm runs in polynomial time and provides deterministic polynomial time solutions for certain structured problem classes, even with infinite Lipschitz parameters. AI
