Synthetic Data Generator (SDG) is a framework focused on quickly generating high-quality structured tabular data. It supports many single-table and multi-table data synthesis algorithms, achieving up to 120 times performance improvement, and supports differential privacy and other methods to enhance the security of synthesized data.
Synthetic data is generated by machines based on real data and algorithms, it does not contain sensitive information, but can retain the characteristics of real data. There is no correspondence between synthetic data and real data, and it is not subject to privacy regulations such as GDPR and ADPPA. In practical applications, there is no need to worry about the risk of privacy leakage. High-quality synthetic data can also be used in various fields such as data opening, model training and debugging, system development and testing, etc.
- high performance
- Supports a wide range of statistical data synthesis algorithms to achieve up to 120x performance improvement, without the need for GPU devices;
- Optimised for big data scenarios, effectively reducing memory consumption;
- Continuously tracking the latest advances in academia and industry, and introducing support for excellent algorithms and models in a timely manner.
- Provide distributed training support for deep learning models with frameworks such as torch.
- Privacy enhancements:
- SDG supports differential privacy, anonymization and other methods to enhance the security of synthetic data.
- Easy to extend
- Supports expansion of models, data processing, data connectors, etc. in the form of plug-in packages
