Differentially-Private Decision Trees and Provable Robustness to Data Poisoning

The paper introduces PrivaTree, a differentially‑private decision tree algorithm that uses private histograms to select splits while preserving a small privacy budget. PrivaTree supports mixed numerical and categorical data without leaking information about numerical features and achieves a superior privacy‑utility trade‑off compared to existing methods. Additionally, the authors provide theoretical bounds on the expected accuracy and success rates of backdoor attacks, showing that PrivaTree-trained trees are more robust against data poisoning than standard decision trees.

Efficient Unlearning with Privacy Guarantees

arXiv:2507. 04771v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Privacy protection laws, such as the GDPR, grant individuals the right to request the forgetting of their personal data not only from databases but also from machine learning (ML) models trained on them.
