Differentially Private Neural Network Training Under the Hidden State Assumption

arXiv:2407. 08233v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current differentially private learning paradigms face a severe utility bottleneck: DP-SGD degrades performance through noise accumulation over training steps, while aggregation-based approaches such as PATE suffer from data inefficiency due to disjoint data partitioning.

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.

Stabilizing Private LASSO under Heterogeneous Covariates via Anisotropic Objective Perturbation

The paper investigates high‑dimensional LASSO under differential privacy using objective perturbation when covariates have heterogeneous scales. It introduces a Gram‑based anisotropic objective perturbation that counteracts the distortion caused by covariate heterogeneity, restoring isotropy in the estimation process. Through an Approximate Message Passing framework and state evolution analysis, the authors show that this approach stabilizes convergence and improves both statistical efficiency and privacy performance compared to standard uniform noise injection.
