Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We perform a rigorous study of private matrix analysis when only the last W updates to matrices are considered useful for analysis. We show the existing framework in the non-private setting is not robust to noise required for privacy. We then propose a framework robust to noise and use it to give first efficient o(W) space differentially private algorithms for spectral approximation, principal component analysis (PCA), multi-response linear regression, sparse PCA, and non-negative PCA. Prior to our work, no such result was known for sparse and non-negative differentially private PCA even in the static data setting. We also give a lower bound to demonstrate the cost of privacy.

Pseudocode Yes The maintenance phase (high-level description of this phase is provided in Algorithm 1) ensures that the final set of matrices satisfies -approximate spectral histogram property.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a specific repository link, explicit code release statement, or mention of code in supplementary materials for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and does not conduct empirical studies using datasets, hence no information about public datasets is provided.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical validation with datasets, therefore it does not provide information about training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe experiments that would require specific hardware. No hardware specifications are provided.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and theoretical properties, not implementation details or specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not describe practical experimental setups, hyperparameter values, or training configurations.
