Abstract: We present a differentially private learner for halfspaces over a finite grid G in Rd with sample complexity d2.52log|G|, which improves the state-of-the-art result of [Beimel et al., COLT 2019] by a d2 factor. The building block for our learner is a new differentially private algorithm for approximately solving the linear feasibility problem: Given a feasible collection of m linear constraints of the form Axb, the task is to {\em privately} identify a solution x that satisfies {\em most} of the constraints. Our algorithm is iterative, where each iteration determines the next coordinate of the constructed solution x.
