Traditional Differential Privacy (DP) mechanisms are typically tailored to specific analysis tasks, which limits the reusability of protected data. DP tabular data synthesis overcomes this by generating synthetic datasets that can be shared…
Differential privacy (DP) enables safe data release, with synthetic data generation emerging as a common approach in recent years. Yet standard synthesizers preserve all dependencies in the data, including spurious correlations between…
Synthetic control is a causal inference tool used to estimate the treatment effects of an intervention by creating synthetic counterfactual data. This approach combines measurements from other similar observations (i.e., donor pool ) to…
Privacy-preserving data publication, including synthetic data sharing, often experiences trade-offs between privacy and utility. Synthetic data is generally more effective than data anonymization in balancing this trade-off, however, not…
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…
The increasing use of machine learning in learning analytics (LA) has raised significant concerns around algorithmic fairness and privacy. Synthetic data has emerged as a dual-purpose tool, enhancing privacy and improving fairness in LA…
The widespread use of big data across sectors has raised major privacy concerns, especially when sensitive information is shared or analyzed. Regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA impose strict controls on data handling, making it difficult to…
The protection of private information is of vital importance in data-driven research, business, and government. The conflict between privacy and utility has triggered intensive research in the computer science and statistics communities,…
Synthetic data has been widely applied in the real world recently. One typical example is the creation of synthetic data for privacy concerned datasets. In this scenario, synthetic data substitute the real data which contains the privacy…
We propose two synthetic microdata approaches to generate private tabular survey data products for public release. We adapt a pseudo posterior mechanism that downweights by-record likelihood contributions with weights $\in [0,1]$ based on…
Synthetic tabular data is used for privacy-preserving data sharing and data-driven model development. Its effectiveness, however, depends heavily on the used Tabular Data Synthesis (TDS) tool. Recent studies have shown that…
