New research defines optimal rates for private convex optimization with heavy tails

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

    Optimal Rates for Pure $\varepsilon$-Differentially Private Stochastic Convex Optimization with Heavy Tails

    arXiv:2604.06492v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study stochastic convex optimization (SCO) with heavy-tailed gradients under pure $\varepsilon$-differential privacy (DP). Instead of assuming a bound on the worst-case Lipschitz parameter of the loss, we assume only a bounde…
