Graph-based Clustering under Differential Privacy
share
In this paper, we present the first differentially private clustering method for arbitrary-shaped node clusters in a graph. This algorithm takes as input only an approximate Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) T released under weight differential privacy constraints from the graph. Then, the underlying nonconvex clustering partition is successfully recovered from cutting optimal cuts on T. As opposed to existing methods, our algorithm is theoretically well-motivated. Experiments support our theoretical findings.
