为隐私保护的结构化文本生成设计评估基准,解决现有方法无法捕捉数据结构的问题。

Struct-Bench: A Benchmark for Differentially Private Structured Text Generation

  • 基于上下文无关语法(CFG)建模数据结构,构建可量化评估框架
  • 包含7个真实与合成数据集,验证最先进方法仍面临严峻挑战
  • 提供开源工具与排行榜,助力隐私生成模型优化与对比

差分隐私(DP)合成数据生成是利用本不可公开的私有数据的重要技术,尤其在无法直接使用原始数据进行模型训练或分析时。尽管已有大量研究聚焦于生成隐私保护的非结构化文本和图像数据,但在企业场景中,结构化数据(如表格数据)更为常见,常包含自然语言字段。现有合成数据评估方法(如FID)难以有效捕捉此类数据的结构特性与关联关系。本文提出 Struct-Bench,一个面向含自然语言的结构化数据合成数据的评估框架与基准。该框架要求用户以上下文无关语法(CFG)形式提供数据结构表示。基准包含5个真实世界数据集与2个合成数据集,均配有对应的CFG标注。实验表明,这些数据集对当前最先进的DP合成数据生成方法构成显著挑战。Struct-Bench 还提供多种评估指标的参考实现与排行榜,为研究人员提供标准化的评估平台,用于测试和改进隐私保护合成数据生成方法。此外,我们通过案例研究展示如何利用 Struct-Bench 提升结构化数据上 Private Evolution(PE)的合成质量。基准与排行榜已公开发布于 https://struct-bench.github.io。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Differentially private (DP) synthetic data generation is a promising technique for utilizing private datasets that otherwise cannot be exposed for model training or other analytics. While much research literature has focused on generating private unstructured text and image data, in enterprise settings, structured data (e.g., tabular) is more common, often including natural language fields or components. Existing synthetic data evaluation techniques (e.g., FID) struggle to capture the structural properties and correlations of such datasets. In this work, we propose Struct-Bench, a framework and benchmark for evaluating synthetic datasets derived from structured datasets that contain natural language data. The Struct-Bench framework requires users to provide a representation of their dataset structure as a Context-Free Grammar (CFG). Our benchmark comprises 5 real-world and 2 synthetically generated datasets, each annotated with CFGs. We show that these datasets demonstrably present a great challenge even for state-of-the-art DP synthetic data generation methods. Struct-Bench also includes reference implementations of different metrics and a leaderboard, thereby providing researchers a standardized evaluation platform to benchmark and investigate privacy-preserving synthetic data generation methods. Further, we also present a case study showing how to use Struct-Bench to improve the synthetic data quality of Private Evolution (PE) on structured data. The benchmark and the leaderboard have been publicly made available at https://struct-bench.github.io.
