arXiv:2511. 13999v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the running time, in terms of first order oracle queries, of differentially private empirical/population risk minimization of Lipschitz convex losses.

arXiv:2607. 29675v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Density modes provide a localized and interpretable summary of multimodal distributions, but their estimation under rigorous differential privacy constraints remains largely unexplored.

arXiv:2601. 10237v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) is the dominant paradigm for private training, but its fundamental limitations under worst-case adversarial privacy definitions remain poorly understood.

arXiv:2602. 17284v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We consider the privacy amplification properties of a sampling scheme in which a user's data isused in $k$ steps chosen randomly and uniformly from a sequence (or set) of $t$ steps.

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.

arXiv:2601. 14033v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine learning models are increasingly served behind APIs.

arXiv:2605. 11170v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Noise-based certified machine unlearning currently faces a hard ceiling: the noise magnitude required to certify unlearning typically destroys model utility, particularly for large-scale deletion requests.

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.

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.

arXiv:2608. 02480v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With AI systems gaining more access to individuals' information, it is important to protect privacy when reporting statistical answers.

arXiv:2607. 19580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentially private machine learning enables model training on sensitive data while ensuring that individual data is unlikely to be recoverable from the parameters of the resulting model.
