AAA: an Adaptive Mechanism for Locally Differentially Private Mean Estimation
Summary: AAA adaptively estimates the population distribution via a noisy, quantized pilot sample, then optimizes distribution-aware local perturbation for mean estimation. Unlike worst-case LDP mechanisms, it targets average utility while retaining rigorous privacy and strong empirical gains. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
