Auditing User-Level Privacy in Private Evolution Synthetic Data
A new arXiv paper examines how to audit user-level privacy guarantees in Private Evolution, a method for generating synthetic data in federated settings. The approach collects clipped user votes over a shared candidate bank and turns them into a differentially private histogram with calibrated noise. The work focuses on verifying that individual users' raw data remains protected under this mechanism.
