Design of Policy-Aware Differentially Private Algorithms
Summary: Demonstrates a transformational equivalence that converts Blowfish-privacy query answering into standard DP via linear mappings f_G and g_G. This enables error-optimal mechanisms for releasing histograms and multidimensional range queries under diverse Blowfish policies, with potential to extend to other workloads.
