提出分治策略的矩阵机制,显著提升高维数据差分隐私查询的准确性和可扩展性。

Accurate and Scalable Matrix Mechanisms via Divide and Conquer

  • 将查询拆分为正交子工作负载,分治求解后合并结果
  • 在所有工作负载上优于现有方法,均方误差更低
  • 适合大规模高维数据的隐私保护查询分析

矩阵机制常用于在发布统计信息或生成合成数据时提供无偏的差分隐私答案。近期研究如ResidualPlanner和Weighted Fourier Factorizations已实现高维数据集上的可扩展性,并对边际查询和循环乘积查询等提供最优性保证。其核心是向一组线性无关的查询添加噪声,以紧凑表示目标工作负载。本文提出QuerySmasher,一种基于分治策略的新型可扩展方法。当查询可通过多种数据边际回答时,QuerySmasher将每个查询拆分为子查询,并重构为相互正交的子工作负载。这些子工作负载构成小规模、低维问题,可由现有的低维矩阵机制独立且最优地求解。随后,将各子解拼接以回答原始工作负载中的查询。我们证明QuerySmasher包含并超越先前方法(如RP、RP+、WFF),在所有工作负载上均能以更优的均方误差表现。实验验证了QuerySmasher在可扩展性与准确性方面的优越性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Matrix mechanisms are often used to provide unbiased differentially private query answers when publishing statistics or creating synthetic data. Recent work has developed matrix mechanisms, such as ResidualPlanner and Weighted Fourier Factorizations, that scale to high dimensional datasets while providing optimality guarantees for workloads such as marginals and circular product queries. They operate by adding noise to a linearly independent set of queries that can compactly represent the desired workloads. In this paper, we present QuerySmasher, an alternative scalable approach based on a divide-and-conquer strategy. Given a workload that can be answered from various data marginals, QuerySmasher splits each query into sub-queries and re-assembles the pieces into mutually orthogonal sub-workloads. These sub-workloads represent small, low-dimensional problems that can be independently and optimally answered by existing low-dimensional matrix mechanisms. QuerySmasher then stitches these solutions together to answer queries in the original workload. We show that QuerySmasher subsumes prior work, like ResidualPlanner (RP), ResidualPlanner+ (RP+), and Weighted Fourier Factorizations (WFF). We prove that it can dominate those approaches, under sum squared error, for all workloads. We also experimentally demonstrate the scalability and accuracy of QuerySmasher.
