New privacy mechanism accelerates density estimation in machine learning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for density estimation under relaxed local differential privacy, utilizing a symmetrized Gamma distribution for noise addition. This approach achieves a faster estimation rate for Sobolev smooth functions compared to traditional $\alpha$-LDP methods, bringing it closer to non-private minimax rates. The technique has been implemented in a neural network estimator that avoids adding extra noise during optimization, showing significant improvements over Laplace and private-SGD mechanisms in numerical results.

    Faster Learning under Relaxed Local Differential Privacy

    arXiv:2609.05034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider density estimation under the relaxed local differential privacy condition that the privatized distributions are $\alpha$-close in total variation distance. We show that adding independent noise with a convenient symmet…
