In the correlation clustering problem one receives as input a set of nodes and for each node a list of co-clustering preferences, and the goal is to output a clustering that minimizes the disagreement with the specified nodes' preferences. In this paper, we introduce a simple and computationally efficient algorithm for the correlation clustering problem with provable privacy guarantees. Our approximation guarantees are stronger than those shown in prior work and are optimal up to logarithmic factors.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/near-optimal-correlation-clustering-with-privacy/}, }
