Today we’re joined by Ryan Rogers, Senior Software Engineer at LinkedIn, to discuss his paper “Practical Differentially Private Top-k Selection with Pay-what-you-get Composition.” In our conversation, we discuss how LinkedIn allows its data scientists to access aggregate user data for exploratory analytics while maintaining its users’ privacy through differential privacy, and the connection between a common algorithm for implementing differential privacy, the exponential mechanism, and Gumbel noise.
