Title: Differentially Private Conditional Text Generation For Synthetic Data Production. Abstract: Companies have faced increasing pressure in recent years to anonymize user collected data when sharing internally or to third parties. Text data in particular contains copious amounts of personally identifiable information that has proven to be difficult to de-identify while remain useful for the party of interest. Previous works have suggested that synthetic text generation could provide a promising avenue to curate high performant and private datasets. In this paper, we introduce an approach to synthesize high utility text classification datasets by performing conditional generation through a large language model, distilGPT2, while providing measurable guarantees via differential privacy. We show that naive approaches suffer heavily from utility loss by entangling task-relevant factors in the transformer embedding space, making controlled generation more difficult. We analyze how incorporating a secondary learning objective can improve the performance of the generative model, improving utility of the generated data.
