# SmartNoise Synthesizers

Differentially private synthesizers for tabular data.  Package includes:
* MWEM
* MST
* QUAIL
* DP-CTGAN
* PATE-CTGAN
* PATE-GAN
* AIM

## Installation

```
pip install smartnoise-synth
```

## Using

Please see the [SmartNoise synthesizers documentation](https://docs.smartnoise.org/synth/index.html) for usage examples.

## Note on Inputs

MWEM and MST require columns to be categorical. If you have columns with continuous values, you should discretize them before fitting.  Take care to discretize in a way that does not reveal information about the distribution of the data.
