Abstract:
We introduce a simple framework for writing private boosting algorithms, and give natural conditions under which these algorithms are private, efficient, and noise-tolerant PAC learners. Our results triply-leverage privacy: for its own sake, for generalization, and for noise tolerance. As an application, we construct PAC learners for large-margin halfspaces, with sample complexity independent of dimension.
