Enhanced Data Privacy Through Structure-Preserving Autoencoder with Latent Space Augmentation

A system comprising:

• at least one programmable processor;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, using at least one processor, one or more source data from one or more data sources;
• generating, using the at least one processor, one or more encoded source data from the one or more source data;
• generating, using the at least one processor, a synthetic data by decoding the one or more encoded source data;
• selecting, using the at least one processor, one or more variables in the synthetic data and associating one or more predetermined identifiability values and one or more predetermined anonymity values;
• decoding, using the at least one processor, the generated synthetic data including the selected variables using the associated one or more predetermined identifiability values and one or more predetermined anonymity values;
• and
• outputting, using the at least one processor, the decoded synthetic data.
