Towards an Axiomatization of Statistical Privacy and Utility
Summary: Axiomatic framework for statistical privacy and utility under randomized algorithms, characterizing their interaction and guiding mechanism design. Identifies a class of differential-privacy relaxations and argues DP outputs are best interpreted as graphs rather than query answers or synthetic data. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
