A new framework called DECAF has been developed to ensure fairness across various synthetic data generators. This framework allows statistical agencies and regulators to shape data generators to eliminate unfair pathways. DECAF's three fairness definitions translate into specific cuts on the generator's causal graph. The mechanism has been tested and proven effective across nine generators from three different families, including differentially private variants, on the Adult and COMPAS datasets. Notably, a new causal diffusion backbone yielded the fairest release among tested families while maintaining high fidelity, and the addition of privacy guarantees did not compromise fairness. AI
