, who showed for a stream of bits, i.e., zeros and ones, that there exists a differentially private mechanism, called the binary (tree) mechanism, for counting the number of ones under continual release with an additive error of O ( log 3 / 2 T ). The study of the continual release model was initiated by Dwork et al. In the continual release (or observation) model the input data arrives as a stream of items x 1, x 2, …, x T and the mechanism has to be able to output an answer after each item has arrived. Can we do this in a differentially private fashion with reasonable accuracy (despite the fact that the system is continually producing outputs)?' We would like to continually analyze aggregate information of consenting users in order to monitor regional health conditions, with the goal, for example, of organizing improved flu response. The user fills in some demographic data (age, zipcode, sex), and responds to queries about his symptoms (fever over 100.4 ∘ F?, sore throat?, duration of symptoms?). Individuals can interact with the site to learn whether the symptoms they are experiencing may be indicative of the H1N1 flu. “Consider a website for H1N1 self-assessment. in the first work on differential privacy under continual release, where they write: This setting was already used as a motivating example by Dwork et al.

In such an application, the system is required to continually produce outputs while preserving a robust privacy guarantee such as differential privacy. However, the privacy of the user data (such as a positive or negative test result) is equally important. In recent times many large-scale applications of data analysis involved repeated computations because of the incidence of infectious diseases, typically to prepare some appropriate response. Graph, many graph-based statistics, and substring and episode counting.įinally, we present a fine-grained error bound for non-interactive local Maintaining a histogram, releasing an approximately cut-preserving synthetic Various problems under continual observation such as binary counting, Furthermore, we are the first to give concrete error bounds for The first algorithm for averaging whose additive error has o(log^3/2 T)ĭependence. M_𝖼𝗈𝗎𝗇𝗍 is tight up an additive error of 1 and the bound for We give explicit factorizations for twoįundamental matrices, namely the counting matrix M_𝖼𝗈𝗎𝗇𝗍 and theĪveraging matrix M_𝖺𝗏𝖾𝗋𝖺𝗀𝖾 and show fine-grained bounds for theĪdditive error of the resulting mechanism using the completely bounded The factorization mechanism when using lower-triangular matrices, can be used We study fine-grained error bounds for differentially private algorithms forĪveraging and counting under continual observation.
