How similar is synthetic tabular data to the real thing?

This new approach uses KL and JS divergences to evaluate full joint distributions — not just feature by feature. A more reliable way to validate synthetic datasets in practice.

Over 450 haematological diseases affect blood cells, the lymphatic system & coagulation, posing major challenges to public #HealthSystems.
#SYNTHEMA is developing a secure platform for synthetic #ClinicalData to enable GDPR-compliant research in rare #HaematologicalDiseases.

Can synthetic tabular data be more accurate?

This new model by researchers at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid combines a Variational Autoencoder with a Gaussian Mixture Model. Results outperform #CTGAN and #TVAE, especially on medical datasets.

How well does synthetic data generation work when spread across multiple hospitals? This study on #AML shows that federated learning protects privacy, though fidelity takes a hit. A key step in real-world AI for rare diseases.

Most synthetic data models assume data abundance. This study shows how transfer learning and meta-learning improve synthetic data generation for cancer research in low-data scenarios, where real clinical constraints apply.
