Distributional Variational AutoEncoder: Application to Synthetic Data Generation

This repository is the official implementation of Distributional Variational AutoEncoder: Application to Synthetic Data Generation (DistVAE) with pytorch.

NOTE: This repository supports WandB MLOps platform!

Training & Evaluation

1. How to Training & Evaluation

training

python main.py --dataset <dataset>

evaluation (step-by-step)

• Synthetic data generation and evaluation: synthesize.py
• CDF estimation and Vrate: inference.py
• Discretize estimated CDF example: calibration.py
• Membership inference attack for VAE:
  • shadow_data.py: generate training/test datasets for shadow models
  • shadow_main.py: training shadow models using training datasets from shadow_data.py
  • shadow_attack.py: evaluate membership inference attack for VAE
