We consider the problem of local privacy where actions are subsets of a ground multiset and expectation rewards are modeled by a [Formula: see text]decomposable monotone submodular function. For the DR-submodular maximization problem under a polymatroid constraint, Soma and Yoshida [26] provide a continuous greedy algorithm for no-privacy setting. In this paper, we obtain the first differentially private algorithm for DR-submodular maximization subject to a polymatroid constraint. Our algorithm achieves a [Formula: see text]approximation with a little loss and runs in [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] times where [Formula: see text] is the rank of the base polymatroid and [Formula: see text] is the size of ground set. Along the way, we analyze the utility and privacy of our algorithm. A concrete experiment to simulate the privacy Uber pickups location problem is provided, and our algorithm performs well within the agreed range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
