Scalable K-clique Estimation with Differential Privacy (opens in new tab)

Counts of $k$-cliques are commonly used metrics in subgraph mining. Since graphs often have sensitive data, there also has been a lot of work on $k$-clique counts with differential privacy. However, these metrics have very high global sensitivity, and so more sophisticated techniques have been developed for counting $k$-cliques with privacy. Smooth sensitivity and ladder functions were developed for reducing the noise magnitude for private estim...
