Research Type Theoretical We present a novel algorithm that reduces the sample complexity to only e O d (log |X|)1.5 , attaining a dimensionality optimal dependency without requiring the sample complexity to grow with log |X|. The technique used in order to attain this improvement involves the deletion of exposed data-points on the go, in a fashion designed to avoid the cost of the adaptive composition theorems. The core of this technique may be of individual interest, introducing a new method for constructing statistically-efficient private algorithms.
