Private synthetic data sharing is preferred as it keeps the distribution and nuances of original data compared to summary statistics. The state-of-the-art methods adopt a select-measure-generate paradigm, but measuring large domain…

Privacy-preserving synthetic data offers a promising solution to harness segregated data in high-stakes domains where information is compartmentalized for regulatory, privacy, or institutional reasons. This survey provides a comprehensive…

Creation of a synthetic dataset that faithfully represents the data distribution and simultaneously preserves privacy is a major research challenge. Many space partitioning based approaches have emerged in recent years for answering…

Techniques to deliver privacy-preserving synthetic datasets take a sensitive dataset as input and produce a similar dataset as output while maintaining differential privacy. These approaches have the potential to improve data sharing and…

Sharing data can often enable compelling applications and analytics. However, more often than not, valuable datasets contain information of a sensitive nature, and thus, sharing them can endanger the privacy of users and organizations. A…

Camouflaging data by generating fake information is a well-known obfuscation technique for protecting data privacy. In this paper, we focus on a very sensitive and increasingly exposed type of data: location data. There are two main…

The need to analyze sensitive data, such as medical records or financial data, has created a critical research challenge in recent years. In this paper, we adopt the framework of differential privacy, and explore mechanisms for generating…

The dissemination of synthetic data can be an effective means of making information from sensitive data publicly available while reducing the risk of disclosure associated with releasing the sensitive data directly. While mechanisms exist…

Differentially private data generation techniques have become a promising solution to the data privacy challenge -- it enables sharing of data while complying with rigorous privacy guarantees, which is essential for scientific progress in…

In distributed computing environments, collaborative machine learning enables multiple clients to train a global model collaboratively. To preserve privacy in such settings, a common technique is to utilize frequent updates and…

Synthetic data generation is a fundamental task for many data management and data science applications. Spatial data is of particular interest, and its sensitive nature often leads to privacy concerns. We introduce GeoPointGAN, a novel…

Artificial intelligence and data access are already mainstream. One of the main challenges when designing an artificial intelligence or disclosing content from a database is preserving the privacy of individuals who participate in the…

In a world where artificial intelligence and data science become omnipresent, data sharing is increasingly locking horns with data-privacy concerns. Differential privacy has emerged as a rigorous framework for protecting individual privacy…

High quality data is needed to unlock the full potential of AI for end users. However finding new sources of such data is getting harder: most publicly-available human generated data will soon have been used. Additionally, publicly…

The unavailability of training data is a permanent source of much frustration in research, especially when it is due to privacy concerns. This is particularly true for location data since previous techniques all suffer from the inherent…

Location data collected from mobile devices represent mobility behaviors at individual and societal levels. These data have important applications ranging from transportation planning to epidemic modeling. However, issues must be overcome…

Synthetic datasets are often presented as a silver-bullet solution to the problem of privacy-preserving data publishing. However, for many applications, synthetic data has been shown to have limited utility when used to train predictive…

Differential privacy allows quantifying privacy loss resulting from accessing sensitive personal data. Repeated accesses to underlying data incur increasing loss. Releasing data as privacy-preserving synthetic data would avoid this…

Synthetic data is emerging as a cost-effective solution necessary to meet the increasing data demands of AI development, created either from existing knowledge or derived from real data. The traditional classification of synthetic data…

As synthetic data becomes increasingly popular in machine learning tasks, numerous methods--without formal differential privacy guarantees--use synthetic data for training. These methods often claim, either explicitly or implicitly, to…
