For query functions that do not return a real number, e.g.,~`What is the most visited country this year?' or in cases where perturbing the value of the output will completely destroy its utility, e.g.,~`How many patients in the ICU?' most works in the literature use the \emph{Exponential mechanism}~\cite{mcsherry2007mechanism}.
For query functions that do not return a real number, e.g.,~`What is the most visited country this year?', or in cases where perturbing the value of the output will completely destroy its utility, e.g.,~`How many patients in the ICU?', most works in the literature use the \emph{Exponential mechanism}~\cite{mcsherry2007mechanism}.
Initially, a utility function $u$, with sensitivity $\Delta u$, maps pairs of the input value $x$ and output value $r$ to utility scores.
Thereafter, the mechanism $M$ selects an output value $r$ from a set of possible outputs $R$ with probability proportional to $\exp(\frac{\varepsilon u(x, r)}{2\Delta u})$ (Figure~\ref{fig:mech-exp}).
