Finding Connections: Membership Inference Attacks for the Multi-Table Synthetic Data Setting

Joshua Ward, Chi-Hua Wang, Guang Cheng

Synthetic tabular data has gained attention for enabling privacy-preserving data sharing. While substantial progress has been made in single-table synthetic generation where data a…

When Tables Leak: Attacking String Memorization in LLM-Based Tabular Data Generation

Joshua Ward, Bochao Gu, Chi-Hua Wang +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable performance in generating high-quality tabular synthetic data. In practice, two primary approaches have emerged f…

Synth-MIA: A Testbed for Auditing Privacy Leakage in Tabular Data Synthesis

Joshua Ward, Xiaofeng Lin, Chi-Hua Wang +1

Tabular Generative Models are often argued to preserve privacy by creating synthetic datasets that resemble training data. However, auditing their empirical privacy remains challen…

Ensembling Membership Inference Attacks Against Tabular Generative Models

Joshua Ward, Yuxuan Yang, Chi-Hua Wang +1

Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) have emerged as a principled framework for auditing the privacy of synthetic data generated by tabular generative models, where many diverse met…

Privacy Auditing Synthetic Data Release through Local Likelihood Attacks

Joshua Ward, Chi-Hua Wang, Guang Cheng

Auditing the privacy leakage of synthetic data is an important but unresolved problem. Existing privacy auditing frameworks for synthetic data rely on heuristics and unrealistic as…

Data Plagiarism Index: Characterizing the Privacy Risk of Data-Copying in Tabular Generative Models

Joshua Ward, Chi-Hua Wang, Guang Cheng

The promise of tabular generative models is to produce realistic synthetic data that can be shared and safely used without dangerous leakage of information from the training set. I…
