Personalized Differential Privacy for Ridge Regression Under Output Perturbation
ABSTRACT The increased application of machine learning (ML) in sensitive domains requires protecting the training data through privacy frameworks, such as differential privacy (DP). Traditional DP enforces a uniform privacy level ε$$ \varepsilon $$, which bounds the maximum privacy loss that each data point in the dataset is allowed to incur.

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs
Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure
