We give new differentially private algorithms for the classic problems of learning decision lists and large-margin halfspaces in the PAC and online models. In the PAC model, we give a computationally efficient algorithm for learning decision lists with minimal sample overhead over the best non-private algorithms. In the online model, we give a private analog of the influential Winnow algorithm for learning halfspaces with mistake bound polylogarithmic in the dimension and inverse polynomial in the margin. As an application, we describe how to privately learn decision lists in the online model, qualitatively matching state-of-the art non-private guarantees.
