LLM for Tabular Data Generation

Leveraging causal structure for high-fidelity synthetic tabular data

This project investigates how large language models (LLMs) can be leveraged to generate high-fidelity synthetic tabular data, guided by the underlying causal structure of the data.

Key activities:

  • Conducted a systematic review of LLM-based techniques for synthetic tabular data generation.
  • Reproduced representative state-of-the-art algorithms and evaluated their performance across diverse datasets.
  • Investigating novel methods that bridge the gap between LLM generative capabilities and structured data utility, with causal relationships as a guiding principle.
