The record

Purpose: SynthCity is a library for generating and evaluating synthetic tabular data.
Extensible architecture: The library has a plugin architecture designed to be extended.
Evaluation: It includes evaluation metrics for data correctness, quality, and privacy.
Generator types: The listed models include GANs, VAEs, normalizing flows, Bayesian networks, random forests, and LLM-based generators.
Data modalities: The repository describes generators for tabular data, time series, survival analysis, and images.
Fairness and privacy: Privacy-focused methods include DECAF, DP-GAN, AdsGAN, PATEGAN, and PrivBayes, and DECAF supports inference-time debiasing using user-defined fairness requirements.
Benchmarking: The Benchmarks API can evaluate generators using selected metrics and repeated runs.
Integration: The README demonstrates using SynthCity with scikit-learn datasets and lifelines survival datasets.
Installation: The library can be installed with pip from PyPI or installed from source.
Missing data limit: SynthCity does not handle missing data, which must be imputed first; the README points to HyperImpute for this purpose.
Image model limit: The README says its image generator architectures are not state of the art and suggests extending the image generator/discriminator architecture method for other architectures.
Model serialization: Models can be serialized and loaded from buffers or files using the library's serialization utilities.
Support and contributions: The project tracks public bugs through GitHub Issues and welcomes pull requests.
License: The repository identifies its license as Apache-2.0.
Price from: Free
