New features since the 1.0.0 release

C++

  • Support for Gaussian Partition Selection
  • NumericalMechanism supports GetVariance
  • Users can have the library automatically select the numerical mechanism (Laplace or Gaussian) with the smaller variance

Java

  • Confidence intervals for Quantiles

Go

  • Support for variance and standard deviation

Privacy on Beam

  • Support for multiple quantiles using quantile trees

Bug Fixes

Privacy on Beam

  • Fix a privacy bug in DistinctPerKey where contributions might not be bound correctly in some rare cases
  • Fix a bug in codelab in sum.go and multiple.go where instead of summing up revenue we sum up time spent

Other

Privacy on Beam

  • Refactor error reporting, errors are propagated up to top-level functions as much as possible

Usage

Java via Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.privacy.differentialprivacy</groupId>

</dependency>

Or use the Java artifact with other build systems.

Via the Go command
