About

Directed graphical models (DGMs) are a class of probabilistic models that are widely used for predictive analysis in sensitive domains such as medical diagnostics. In this paper, we present an algorithm for differentially-private learning of the parameters of a DGM. Our solution optimizes for the utility of inference queries over the DGM and adds noise that is customized to the properties of the private input dataset and the graph structure of the DGM. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first explicit data-dependent privacy budget allocation algorithm in the context of DGMs. We compare our algorithm with a standard data-independent approach over a diverse suite of benchmarks and demonstrate that our solution requires a privacy budget that is roughly 3× smaller to obtain the same or higher utility.
