From: A scoping review of privacy and utility metrics in medical synthetic data

We found 49 different synthetic data generation (SDG) methods, split into two main categories: GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) and other techniques. GANs, shown in orange, make up 32.65% of the total, with 16 different methods. The remaining 67.35%, in blue, includes various approaches like Bayesian Networks, VAEs, and proprietary software.
