Differentially private (DP) synthetic data generation is a practical method for improving access to data as a means to encourage productive partnerships. One issue inherent to DP is that the "privacy budget" is generally "spent" evenly…
Differential privacy (DP) has been accepted as a rigorous criterion for measuring the privacy protection offered by random mechanisms used to obtain statistics or, as we will study here, synthetic datasets from confidential data. Methods to…
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…
When sharing data among researchers or releasing data for public use, there is a risk of exposing sensitive information of individuals in the data set. Data synthesis (DS) is a statistical disclosure limitation technique for releasing…

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…
Differential privacy is a privacy measure based on the difficulty of discriminating between similar input data. In differential privacy analysis, similar data usually implies that their distance does not exceed a predetermined threshold.…
