When T2I Synthetic Data Backfires: Amplified Privacy Risks in Real-Synthetic Mix Training

To overcome data scarcity and privacy constraints in data collection, it has become standard practice across academia and industry to augment real training data with text-to-image (T2I)-generated synthetic data, a paradigm we term Real-Synthetic Mix-Training (RSMT). While substituting synthetic data for sensitive real samples is widely regarded as a means to mitigate privacy exposure of the substituted data, the risk to the remaining real samples that actively participate in training has…
