• Abstract: High-fidelity generative models are increasingly needed in privacy-sensitive scenarios, where access to data is severely restricted due to regulatory and copyright constraints. This scarcity hampers model development--ironically, in settings where generative models are most needed to compensate for the lack of data. This creates a self-reinforcing challenge: limited data leads to poor generative models, which in turn fail to mitigate data scarcity. To break this cycle, we propose a reinforcement-guided synthetic data generation framework that adapts general-domain generative priors to privacy-sensitive identity recognition tasks. We first perform a cold-start adaptation to align a pretrained generator with the target domain, establishing semantic relevance and initial fidelity. Building on this foundation, we introduce a multi-objective reward that jointly optimizes semantic consistency, coverage diversity, and expression richness, guiding the generator to produce both realistic and task-effective samples. During downstream training, a dynamic sample selection mechanism further prioritizes high-utility synthetic samples, enabling adaptive data scaling and improved domain alignment. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our framework significantly improves both generation fidelity and classification accuracy, while also exhibiting strong generalization to novel categories in small-data regimes.

We present a conditional denoising diffusion model, which includes a sequence encoder, a cross-attentive denoising decoder, and a step-wise diffuser.

• Partially Conditioned Generative Adversarial Networks [75.08725392017698]
  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) let one synthesise artificial datasets by implicitly modelling the underlying probability distribution of a real-world training dataset. With the introduction of Conditional GANs and their variants, these methods were extended to generating samples conditioned on ancillary information available for each sample within the dataset. In this work, we argue that standard Conditional GANs are not suitable for such a task and propose a new Adversarial Network architecture and training strategy.
