Differentially Private All-Pairs Shortest Distances for Low Tree-Width Graphs

Abstract

In this paper, we present a polynomial time algorithm for the problem of differentially private all pair shortest distances over the class of low tree-width graphs. Our result generalizes the result of Sealfon 2016 for the case of trees to a much larger family of graphs. Furthermore, if we restrict to the class of low tree-width graphs, the additive error of our algorithm is significantly smaller than that of the best known algorithm for this problem, proposed by Chen et. al. 2023.
