We propose, implement, and evaluate a new algorithm for releasing answers to very large numbers of statistical queries like $k$-way marginals, subject to differential privacy. Our algorithm makes adaptive use of a continuous relaxation of the Projection Mechanism, which answers queries on the private dataset using simple perturbation, and then attempts to find the synthetic dataset that most closely matches the noisy answers. We use a continuous relaxation of the synthetic dataset domain which makes the projection loss differentiable, and allows us to use efficient ML optimization techniques and tooling. Rather than answering all queries up front, we make judicious use of our privacy budget by iteratively and adaptively finding queries for which our (relaxed) synthetic data has high error, and then repeating the projection. We perform extensive experimental evaluations across a range of parameters and datasets, and find that our method outperforms existing algorithms in many cases, especially when the privacy budget is small or the query class is large.

Many differentially private algorithms for answering database queries involve a step that reconstructs a discrete data distribution from noisy measurements. This provides consistent query answers and reduces error, but often requires space that grows
exponentially with dimension. Private-PGM is a recent approach that uses graphical models to represent the data distribution, with complexity proportional to that of exact marginal inference in a graphical model with structure determined by the co-occurrence of variables in the noisy measurements. Private-PGM is highly scalable for sparse measurements, but may fail to run in high dimensions with dense measurements. We overcome the main scalability limitation of Private-PGM through a principled approach that relaxes consistency constraints in the estimation objective. Our new approach works with many existing private query answering algorithms and improves scalability or accuracy with no privacy cost.
Deep Neural Networks, despite their great success in diverse domains, are provably sensitive to small perturbations on correctly classified examples and lead to erroneous predictions. Recently, it was proposed that this behavior can be combatted by o
ptimizing the worst case loss function over all possible substitutions of training examples. However, this can be prone to weighing unlikely substitutions higher, limiting the accuracy gain. In this paper, we study adversarial robustness through randomized perturbations, which has two immediate advantages: (1) by ensuring that substitution likelihood is weighted by the proximity to the original word, we circumvent optimizing the worst case guarantees and achieve performance gains; and (2) the calibrated randomness imparts differentially-private model training, which additionally improves robustness against adversarial attacks on the model outputs. Our approach uses a novel density-based mechanism based on truncated Gumbel noise, which ensures training on substitutions of both rare and dense words in the vocabulary while maintaining semantic similarity for model robustness.
Outlier detection plays a significant role in various real world applications such as intrusion, malfunction, and fraud detection. Traditionally, outlier detection techniques are applied to find outliers in the context of the whole dataset. However,
this practice neglects contextual outliers, that are not outliers in the whole dataset but in some specific neighborhoods. Contextual outliers are particularly important in data exploration and targeted anomaly explanation and diagnosis. In these scenarios, the data owner computes the following information: i) The attributes that contribute to the abnormality of an outlier (metric), ii) Contextual description of the outliers neighborhoods (context), and iii) The utility score of the context, e.g. its strength in showing the outliers significance, or in relation to a particular explanation for the outlier. However, revealing the outliers context leaks information about the other individuals in the population as well, violating their privacy. We address the issue of population privacy violations in this paper, and propose a solution for the two main challenges. In this setting, the data owner is required to release a valid context for the queried record, i.e. a context in which the record is an outlier. Hence, the first major challenge is that the privacy technique must preserve the validity of the context for each record. We propose techniques to protect the privacy of individuals through a relaxed notion of differential privacy to satisfy this requirement. The second major challenge is applying the proposed techniques efficiently, as they impose intensive computation to the base algorithm. To overcome this challenge, we propose a graph structure to map the contexts to, and introduce differentially private graph search algorithms as efficient solutions for the computation problem caused by differential privacy techniques.
Common datasets have the form of elements with keys (e.g., transactions and products) and the goal is to perform analytics on the aggregated form of key and frequency pairs. A weighted sample of keys by (a function of) frequency is a highly versatile
summary that provides a sparse set of representative keys and supports approximate evaluations of query statistics. We propose private weighted sampling (PWS): A method that ensures element-level differential privacy while retaining, to the extent possible, the utility of a respective non-private weighted sample. PWS maximizes the reporting probabilities of keys and estimation quality of a broad family of statistics. PWS improves over the state of the art also for the well-studied special case of private histograms, when no sampling is performed. We empirically demonstrate significant performance gains compared with prior baselines: 20%-300% increase in key reporting for common Zipfian frequency distributions and accuracy for $times 2$-$ 8$ lower frequencies in estimation tasks. Moreover, PWS is applied as a simple post-processing of a non-private sample, without requiring the original data. This allows for seamless integration with existing implementations of non-private schemes and retaining the efficiency of schemes designed for resource-constrained settings such as massive distributed or streamed data. We believe that due to practicality and performance, PWS may become a method of choice in applications where privacy is desired.
Correlation clustering is a widely used technique in unsupervised machine learning. Motivated by applications where individual privacy is a concern, we initiate the study of differentially private correlation clustering. We propose an algorithm that
achieves subquadratic additive error compared to the optimal cost. In contrast, straightforward adaptations of existing non-private algorithms all lead to a trivial quadratic error. Finally, we give a lower bound showing that any pure differentially private algorithm for correlation clustering requires additive error of $Omega(n)$.
