Private Release of Graph Statistics using Ladder Functions
Summary: Introduces ladder functions for privately optimal outputs of graph statistics under differential privacy. Applied to subgraph counts, it achieves near-exact cost and improves accuracy over prior methods, enabling practical synthetic graph generation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
