Install DataSynthesizer

pip install DataSynthesizer

Usage

Assumptions for the Input Dataset

  1. The input dataset is a table in first normal form (1NF).
  2. When implementing differential privacy, DataSynthesizer injects noises into the statistics within active domain that are the values presented in the table.

Use Jupyter Notebooks

# install jupyter first
pip install jupyter

There are some demos in ./notebooks/

Use webUI

DataSynthesizer can be executed by a web-based UI.

# install django
pip install django

# go to the directory for webUI
cd DataSynthesizer/webUI/

# run the server
python manage.py runserver
