Differentially Private Domain Discovery

TL;DR

We study several problems in differentially private domain discovery, where each user holds a subset of items from a shared but unknown domain, and the goal is to output an informative subset of items. For set union, we show that the simple baseline Weighted Gaussian Mechanism (WGM) has a near-optimal $\ell_1$ missing mass guarantee on Zipfian d...
