PFN-Syn: Generating Synthetic Tabular Data with Prior-Data Fitted Networks

· 0 citations · 20 references

TL;DR

PFN-Syn achieves the highest average downstream utility among evaluated synthetic generators, with higher generation throughput than training-based baselines, while maintaining competitive distributional similarity and distance-to-closest-record privacy behavior.

Few-Shot LLMs as Synthetic Tabular Data Generators

Synthetic tabular data is increasingly used to support data sharing and machine learning development, where access to real data is restricted or sensitive. However, existing tabular data generators often require dataset-specific training or fine-tuning, data preprocessing, and extensive hyperparameter tuning to achieve...

Optimal Domain-Aware Privacy Mechanisms for Synthetic Data Generation

This work considers normalized histograms as distribution estimators and characterize the asymptotically optimal domain-aware privacy mechanism within a specific class of DP mechanisms, and introduces PubMix, a public-data-aware DP mechanism that can be used in histogram-based data synthesis pipelines.

Prior-Data Fitted Networks as Tabular Foundation Models for Ranking in Low-Data Settings

This work demonstrates that PFNs, which are originally trained for classification, successfully outperform classification baselines on ranking data and introduces a novel sampling and inference scheme to obtain pairwise predictions from PFNs' native pointwise architecture, analogous to pairwise LTR.
