Decoupled Learning and Selection in Slate Recommendation for Privacy and Stability Under Noisy Scores

We formalize slate recommendation as a randomized score learner followed by deterministic selection.

First, an appropriately scoped differential-privacy guarantee passes through selection and its audit trace by post-processing.

End-to-end privacy holds only when selector inputs are public or independent, previous private outputs, or separately privacy-accounted; fixing raw state or candidate information instead yields only a conditional guarantee.

Second, we derive a logged margin certificate: bounded score-induced objective movement below half the smallest greedy decision margin guarantees that the ordered slate is unchanged.

Controlled fixed-margin tests show near-linear exponent scaling, with an empirical slope of $-0.220$ (95% CI $[-0.231,-0.210]$) against the independent-noise reference $-1/4$.

Real-anchor experiments on OULAD, MovieLens-25M, and Amazon Musical Instruments show that greater anchor weight reduces score-noise-induced ranking churn.

OULAD and EdNet certificate checks validate the implementation of the logged inequality, while closed-loop simulations show bounded target drift and setting-dependent downstream utility.

The contribution is therefore a privacy-scope contract and a certifiable score-to-slate stability mechanism, not a universal utility claim.
