Plausible Deniability for Privacy-Preserving Data Synthesis

Summary: Plausible deniability: a privacy criterion for data synthesis, independent of adversary; testable. Efficient synthetic-data generation preserves statistics and ML utility; with proper randomness, it yields differential privacy on big datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
