arXiv:2606.02607v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular synthesis is critical for privacy-preserving sharing and augmentation, yet diffusion models rely on implicit mechanisms to capture inter-column relationships. We introduce Geometry-Aware Tabular Diffusion (GATD), which augments tabular diffusion denoisers with pairwise angles and lengths computed from column value differences and used as inputs and auxiliary targets. Our MLP instantiation achieves state-of-the-art benchmark performance while using 3.5x fewer parameters on average (up to 25x for classification tasks): on ten datasets, it w
The continuous improvement in diffusion models and the increasing demand for privacy-preserving data synthesis are driving innovations like GATD to address current limitations effectively.
This breakthrough significantly enhances the privacy and utility of synthetic tabular data, crucial for areas like AI training, data sharing, and regulatory compliance without compromising performance.
Tabular diffusion models now have a more robust mechanism for capturing complex data relationships, leading to more accurate synthetic data generation with fewer computational resources.
