- 在严格隐私约束下仍保持高数据保真度,优于CTGAN等模型
- 适合医疗金融等对隐私和质量要求高的场景
合成数据生成是现代人工智能的关键技术,用于应对数据稀缺、隐私限制及训练鲁棒模型所需的数据多样性。本文提出一种基于张量网络中矩阵乘积态(MPS)的隐私保护高质表格数据生成方法。我们在多个基准数据集上将该模型与当前最优的CTGAN、VAE和PrivBayes进行对比,评估其数据保真度与隐私保护能力。为实现差分隐私(DP),训练过程中引入噪声注入与梯度裁剪,并通过Rényi差分隐私分析提供隐私保证。实验结果表明,相较于经典模型,MPS在多种指标下表现更优,尤其在严苛隐私条件下仍能保持良好性能。该方法结合张量网络的表达能力与正式的隐私机制,提供了一种可解释且可扩展的隐私敏感数据共享方案,适用于对数据质量和保密性均有高要求的领域。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Synthetic data generation is a key technique in modern artificial intelligence, addressing data scarcity, privacy constraints, and the need for diverse datasets in training robust models. In this work, we propose a method for generating privacy-preserving high-quality synthetic tabular data using Tensor Networks, specifically Matrix Product States (MPS). We benchmark the MPS-based generative model against state-of-the-art models such as CTGAN, VAE, and PrivBayes, focusing on both fidelity and privacy-preserving capabilities. To ensure differential privacy (DP), we integrate noise injection and gradient clipping during training, enabling privacy guarantees via Rényi Differential Privacy accounting. Across multiple metrics analyzing data fidelity and downstream machine learning task performance, our results show that MPS outperforms classical models, particularly under strict privacy constraints. This work highlights MPS as a promising tool for privacy-aware synthetic data generation. By combining the expressive power of tensor network representations with formal privacy mechanisms, the proposed approach offers an interpretable and scalable alternative for secure data sharing. Its structured design facilitates integration into sensitive domains where both data quality and confidentiality are critical.
