An LLM-Based Framework for Synthetic Data


Generation
Jan 6th-8th, 2025
Problem Statement
In domains like healthcare, finance, and cybersecurity, high-quality data is essential
for AI and machine learning.

Challenges faced:-
• Data scarcity due to limited accessibility or insufficient collection.
• Privacy concerns hinder the use of sensitive datasets.
• Regulatory restrictions make data sharing and usage difficult.

Why It Matters:-
• Without adequate data, machine learning models suffer in accuracy and
adaptability.
• Synthetic data can bridge these gaps by mimicking real data patterns while
ensuring privacy.

2
Proposed Solution
A platform that combines Large Language Models (LLMs) and differential privacy
techniques.

Key Features:-
• Privacy-preserving synthetic data generation using IBM’s diffprivlib.
• Support for multiple domains: healthcare, finance, retail, logistics, and
cybersecurity.
• Scalability and ease of use with pre-defined or user-provided datasets.

Why LLMs:-
• Superior adaptability for both structured and unstructured data.
• Faster and more efficient than traditional methods like GANs and VAEs.

Related Work
Limitations of Existing Approaches:
• GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks):
• High computational demands.
• Prone to mode collapse.
• VAEs (Variational Autoencoders):
• Struggles with complex datasets; output lacks detail.
• Other frameworks (e.g., ATEN, GeMSyD, ElderSim):
• Focused on niche domains or lack flexibility for diverse data types.

Our Advantage:
• Efficiency: Uses pre-trained LLMs that require minimal additional training.
• Versatility: Adapts to multiple domains seamlessly.
• Privacy: Integrates differential privacy from the ground up.

4
Framework Architecture
Main Components:
• User Input: Upload a dataset or select a
domain for pre-defined options.
• Differential Privacy Module: Ensures
anonymity by adding controlled noise.
• LLM-Based Data Generation: Captures
patterns to produce realistic synthetic data.

Workflow Highlights:
• Iterative feedback loop to ensure data
volume and quality.

5
Differential Privacy Integration
IBM’s diffprivlib is used in this framework as it ensures original data anonymity by
adding mathematical noise.

Privacy parameter epsilon(ε) controls the balance:


• Higher (ε): Better data quality, less privacy.
• Lower (ε): More privacy, reduced utility.

Different values of ε were chosen to showcase the Machine Learning Usability(MLU)


of the generated synthetic data for Iris dataset.

Matrix Real Data ε = 10.0 ε = 5.0 ε = 2.5 ε = 1.0

Accuracy 95.5% 91.1% 83.6% 82.5% 77.8%

Validation Loss 10.8% 20.0% 27.3% 34.7% 42.2%


6
Framework Implementation
Technology Stack:
• Python as the core programming language, chosen for its rich ecosystem and
compatibility.
• OpenAI API utilized for LLM-based synthetic data generation.
• IBM’s diffprivlib integrated for differential privacy handling.

Functionalities Implemented:
• Synthetic Data Generation: Fine-tuned prompts guide LLMs to produce domain-
specific synthetic data. Iterative loop ensures data meets user-specified volume
and quality requirements.
• Data Pre-processing: Batch processing manages large datasets efficiently,
reducing memory load. Outliers and missing values handled using statistical
imputation techniques.
• Data Analysis: Basic statistical insights and visualizations generated to support
dataset understanding.
7
Performance and Usability
Performance Metrics:
• Synthetic data generation time increases proportionally with dataset size.
• Faster than GANs: Requires ~60% fewer resources for smaller datasets and
~40% fewer for larger datasets.
• Copula-based models are faster but lack versatility, especially with unstructured
data.

Usability Highlights:
• Efficiently processes both numerical and categorical data, supporting diverse
applications.
• Handles large datasets via batch processing, ensuring minimal memory
overhead.

8
Benefits and Challenges
Benefits:
• Privacy-Preserving: Differential privacy ensures secure data anonymization.
• Versatility: Supports multiple domains, including healthcare, finance, and
cybersecurity.
• Efficiency: Scales effectively without significant resource demands.

Challenges:
• Privacy vs. Utility Trade-off: Lower privacy (higher ε) improves data utility but
reduces privacy.
• Fine-Tuning Dependency: Requires domain-specific fine-tuning for optimal
results.
• Unstructured Data Limitations: Greater challenges compared to structured
datasets.

9
Conclusion and Future Work
Conclusion:
• The framework effectively generates synthetic data that preserves statistical
properties while maintaining privacy.
• Outperforms traditional methods like GANs in speed, efficiency, and domain
adaptability.
• Demonstrates strong applicability for machine learning and data-sensitive fields.

Future Work:
• Expand support for image-based synthetic data generation.
• Improve usability for non-technical users by enhancing the interface.
• Explore advanced visualization and analysis tools to better represent synthetic
data insights.
