Differentially Private Two-Party Set Operations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Private set intersection (PSI) allows two parties to compute the intersection of their data without revealing the data they possess that is outside of the intersection. However, in many cases of joint data analysis, the intersection is also sensitive. We define differentially private set intersection and we propose new protocols using (leveled) homomorphic encryption where the result is differentially private. Our circuit-based approach has an adaptability that allows us to achieve differential privacy, as well as to compute predicates over the intersection such as cardinality. Furthermore, our protocol produces differentially private output for set intersection and set intersection cardinality that is optimal in terms of communication and computation complexity. For a client set of size$m$and a server set of size$n$, where$m$is smaller than$n$, our communication complexity is$O(m)$while previous circuit-based protocols only achieve$O(n+m)$communication complexity. In addition to our asymptotic optimizations which include new analysis for using nested cuckoo hashing for PSI, we demonstrate the practicality of our protocol through an implementation that shows the feasibility of computing the differentially private intersection for large data sets containing millions of elements.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
