New framework enables efficient learning of distributions under local differential privacy

Researchers have developed a new framework for learning univariate distributions under local differential privacy (LDP). This framework offers sample-efficient LDP learners for various distribution classes, including Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs), and provides agnostic and computationally efficient guarantees. The work also includes a new lower bound for learning GMMs under LDP, improving upon existing bounds. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust and privacy-preserving machine learning models, particularly in scenarios where data sensitivity is high.

    Efficient Agnostic Learning of Univariate Densities Under Local Differential Privacy

    arXiv:2610.21033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a general framework for non-interactive locally differentially private (LDP) learning of structured univariate distributions that can be approximated by piece-wise polynomials. This gives the first sample-efficient LDP …
