Colab Examples: LLM: Data Synthesis | LLM: Off-Table Inference | Billion-Level-Data supported CTGAN
The Synthetic Data Generator (SDG) is a specialized framework designed to generate high-quality structured tabular data.
Synthetic data does not contain any sensitive information, yet it retains the essential characteristics of the original data, making it exempt from privacy regulations such as GDPR and ADPPA.
High-quality synthetic data can be safely utilized across various domains including data sharing, model training and debugging, system development and testing, etc.
Our current key achievements and timelines are as follows:
🔥 Feb 20, 2024: a single-table data synthesis model based on LLM is included, view colab example: LLM: Data Synthesis and LLM: Off-table Feature Inference.
🔶 Dec 20, 2023: v0.1.0 released, a CTGAN model that supports billions of data processing capabilities is included, view our benchmark against SDV, where SDG achieved less memory consumption and avoided crashing during training. For specific use, view colab example: Billion-Level-Data supported CTGAN.
🔆 Aug 10, 2023: First line of SDG code committed.
For a long time, LLM has been used to understand and generate various types of data. In fact, LLM also has certain capabilities in tabular data generation. Also, it has some abilities that cannot be achieved by traditional (based on GAN methods or statistical methods) .
Our sdgx.models.LLM.single_table.gpt.SingleTableGPTModel implements two new features:
No training data is required, synthetic data can be generated based on metadata data, view in our colab example.
Infer new column data based on the existing data in the table and the knowledge mastered by LLM, view in our colab example.
- Technological advancements:
- Supports a wide range of statistical data synthesis algorithms, LLM-based synthetic data generation model is also integrated;
- 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.
- 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.
You can use pre-built images to quickly experience the latest features.
