Researchers have developed new post-processing techniques to generate machine learning models that meet varying differential privacy requirements without retraining. These methods, random selection and linear combination, allow for the creation of a final private model from a set of existing models with different privacy-utility trade-offs. The proposed approaches are analyzed using R'enyi DP and privacy loss distributions, with theoretical and empirical validation showing the superiority of linear combination for private mean estimation.
