Adapting to evolving data characteristics (concept drift) while protecting data owners' private information is an open challenge. We present a differentially private ensemble solution to this problem with two distinguishing features: it allows an \\textit{unbounded} number of ensemble updates to deal with the potentially never-ending data streams under a fixed privacy budget, and it is \\textit{model agnostic}, in that it treats any pre-trained differentially private classification/regression model as a black-box. Our method outperforms competitors on real-world and simulated datasets for varying settings of privacy, concept drift, and data distribution.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.04640v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.04640v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"differentially-private-ensemble-classifiers","repo_url":"https://github.com/lgondara/dptemporalensemble","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"regression-1","task_name":"regression"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
