With AI systems gaining more access to individuals' information, it is important to protect privacy when reporting statistical answers. Equally important is to privatize the reporting of uncertainty in such answers.

The paper presents a Gaussian approximation for the privacy loss distribution in differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP‑SGD) when subsampling is used. It shows that, after truncating rare large losses, the privacy loss behaves like a Gaussian with the same mean and variance, up to a small shift that grows only logarithmically with the error tolerance. This leads to tighter variance‑based bounds for subsampled mechanisms, improving upon previous Renyi‑divergence analyses and explaining the effectiveness of the connect‑the‑dots method for random allocation sampling.

The paper proposes a method for releasing Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) under differential privacy (DP) by minimizing Kullback‑Leibler (KL) divergence between the released and non‑private models. It jointly optimizes privacy‑budget allocation and parameter perturbations for mixture weights, means, and covariances, providing a tractable expression for KL divergence and a theoretical analysis of DP guarantees. Experiments on synthetic and real data show that the approach achieves strong privacy while preserving high utility.

The paper analyzes deep nonparametric regression trained with stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics (SGLD), a stochastic gradient method that adds Gaussian noise. Using a PAC‑Bayesian framework for deep ReLU networks, it derives an excess‑risk bound that incorporates network approximation error, statistical complexity, and the cumulative effect of the SGLD trajectory. The study also provides differential privacy guarantees for per‑sample clipped SGLD and demonstrates the method’s predictive performance and privacy‑utility trade‑offs through simulations and real data experiments.
