Abstract:
The problem of counting subgraphs or graphlets under local differential privacy is an important challenge that has attracted significant attention from researchers. However, much of the existing work focuses on small graphlets like triangles or k-stars. In this paper, we propose a non-interactive, locally differentially private algorithm capable of counting graphlets of any size k. When n is the number of nodes in the input graph, we show that the expected ℓ2 error of our algorithm is O(nk−1). Additionally, we prove that there exists a class of input graphs and graphlets of size k for which any non-interactive counting algorithm incurs an expected ℓ2 error of Ω(nk−1), demonstrating the optimality of our result. Furthermore, we establish that for certain input graphs and graphlets, any locally differentially private algorithm must have an expected ℓ2 error of Ω(nk−1.5). Our experimental results show that our algorithm is more accurate than the classical randomized response method.
