Fingerprinting Codes Meet Geometry: Improved Lower Bounds for Private Query Release and Adaptive Data Analysis
Fingerprinting codes are a crucial tool for proving lower bounds in differential privacy. They have been used to prove tight lower bounds for several fundamental questions, especially in the “low accuracy” regime. Unlike reconstruction/discrepancy approaches however, they are more suited for proving worst-case lower bounds, for query sets that arise naturally from the fingerprinting codes …
