Abstract:
Hierarchical trees are widely used in differentially private statistical releases. Existing fast specialized algorithms guarantee hierarchical consistency but not non-negativity, which may incur meaningless negative values due to randomness. Quadratic programming can achieve optimally non-negative consistent releases, but traditional numerical-based methods face significant performance challenges when handling large-scale hierarchical trees. In this article, we construct the element set of Lagrange multiplier coefficients K that satisfy the first type of KKT condition (values >= 0 and gradients =0 ). Applying Generation Matrix, we find that meticulously constructing an unconstrained set S subset of K , we can further find a larger S subset of K until S=K , as demonstrated in our proof (we also term this as the Unconstrained Set Expansion Theorem). Based on the theorem, we design an efficient Generation Matrix-based optimally non-negative consistent release algorithm (GMNC), which can easily handle large-scale hierarchical trees with more than 100 million nodes. Our experiments show that GMNC has an extremely high iteration efficiency with no more than 20 (only 2 similar to 8 on average) iterations even in the worst case. Compared to Interior Point Convex Method, GMNC improves the data scale processing limit up to 33.4 times in our experimental environment while requiring only 0.7% of the running time.
