Causality for Tabular Data Synthesis: A High-Order Structure Causal Benchmark Framework

arXiv:2406. 08311v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing evaluations of tabular synthesis models rely primarily on low-order statistics and downstream task performance, leaving multivariate causal relationships that go beyond pairwise correlations largely unmeasured.

ReTabSyn: Realistic Tabular Data Synthesis via Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2603. 10823v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep generative models can help with data scarcity and privacy by producing synthetic training data, but they struggle in low-data, imbalanced tabular settings to fully learn the complex data distribution.

DAG-FM: A Foundation Model for Causal Discovery under Heterogeneous Causal Mechanisms

arXiv:2607. 11510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal discovery from observational tabular data remains fundamentally challenging, primarily due to the heterogeneity of underlying causal mechanisms and the high-dimensional combinatorial search space of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs).

Hierarchical Synthetic Tabular Data Generation: A Hybrid Top-Down and Bottom-Up Framework

arXiv:2605. 28198v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing approaches for synthetic tabular data generation are based on either purely generative models or LLMs, both of which struggle with data heterogeneity, logical consistency, rare-event coverage, and robustness in low-data regimes.

Limited Reference, Reliable Generation: A Two-Component Framework for Tabular Data Generation in Low-Data Regimes

arXiv:2509. 09960v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic tabular data generation is increasingly essential in machine learning, supporting downstream applications when real-world, high-quality tabular data is insufficient.
