The Binary Tree Mechanism is Optimal for Approximate Differentially Private Continual Counting

arXiv:2607. 00876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Private continual counting is a fundamental problem in differential privacy: given a binary stream of length $n$, where each $1$ corresponds to the contribution of one individual, the goal is to release all running counts while protecting the privacy of each individual.

Differentially Private Verification of Distribution Properties

arXiv:2604. 10819v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recent line of work initiated by Chiesa and Gur and further developed by Herman and Rothblum investigates the sample and communication complexity of verifying properties of distributions with the assistance of a powerful, knowledgeable, but untrusted prover.

Near-Optimal Private Tests for Simple and MLR Hypotheses

arXiv:2601. 21959v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a near-optimal testing procedure under the framework of Gaussian differential privacy for simple as well as one- and two-sided tests under monotone likelihood ratio conditions.

Information Bottleneck under Perfect Privacy

arXiv:2608. 11003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work, we study the information bottleneck under perfect privacy, with particular emphasis on the active-rate regime, where the representation-rate constraint is binding and directly limits the achievable utility.
