Title: Introduction to Differential Privacy and Query Release via Differentially Private Optimization
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce the concept of differential privacy and demonstrate its application to answering a finite set of linear queries on a given dataset while ensuring privacy. The task is framed as a saddle-point optimization problem, where the solution corresponds to a distribution minimizing the difference between the true distribution’s answers and those from a differentially private distribution.
