New workflow audits synthetic student data for privacy and decision-making utility

A new workflow called CaP-Eval has been developed to audit synthetic and distilled student data for privacy and utility in institutional support decisions. The workflow evaluates data based on predictive accuracy, treatment-effect fidelity, robustness, and local training-record proximity. Results indicate that DPGNet and distilled data are more reliable for preserving financial-status treatment effects compared to adversarial and Gaussian Copula baselines, though distilled data retains a stronger proximity signal.

    Causal-Privacy Audit Workflow for Synthetic and Distilled Data in Dropout Support

    arXiv:2606.15940v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic and distilled student data are increasingly used to enable privacy-conscious learning analytics, yet their suitability for decision-facing institutional support remains uncertain. In dropout support, generated data must pr…
