HDMM: Optimizing error of high-dimensional statistical queries under differential privacy

Ryan McKenna, Gerome Miklau, Michael Hay +1

In this work we describe the High-Dimensional Matrix Mechanism (HDMM), a differentially private algorithm for answering a workload of predicate counting queries. HDMM represents qu…
