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. We argue that striving for the full joint distribution could be overkill; for greater data efficiency, models should prioritize learning the conditional distribution $P(y\mid \bm{X})$, as suggested by recent theoretical analysis. Therefore, we overcome this limitation with \textbf{ReTabSyn}, a \textbf{Re}inforced \textbf{Tab}ular \tex
The increasing complexity and scarcity of real-world data, combined with growing privacy concerns, are driving innovation in synthetic data generation at this moment.
This development addresses critical challenges in AI model training, particularly for low-data and imbalanced tabular datasets, which are common in many real-world applications.
The ability to generate more realistic and efficient synthetic tabular data, especially for conditional distributions, will accelerate AI development and deployment in sensitive or data-limited domains.
