New PE-means algorithm improves private k-means clustering by 20%

Researchers have developed PE-means, a new algorithm for differentially private k-means clustering. This method improves upon existing techniques by using a private histogram with constant sensitivity, rather than directly summing private data. PE-means achieves an average 20% reduction in clustering loss compared to current state-of-the-art methods. AI

IMPACT Introduces a more efficient method for private clustering, potentially improving data privacy in machine learning applications.

    PE-means: Improved Differentially Private $k$-means Clustering through Private Evolution

    arXiv:2606.00342v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of differentially private (DP) $k$-means clustering in Euclidean space. Previous solutions rely on summing the private data directly, which induces a sensitivity proportional to the domain. We introduce PE-means…
