Synthetic Data papers, 2023–2026

Key findings

• Synthetic Data fell from 54 papers in 2023 to 50 in 2026, so interest is cooling.
• NeurIPS publishes the most Synthetic Data work: 64 papers from 2023 to 2026, 38% of the four-venue total.
• The fastest-growing overlap is with Reinforcement Learning: papers tagged with both rose from 0 in 2023 to 7 in 2026.
• Among the 5 topics under Federated and Privacy, it ranks #4 by 2026 paper count; the fastest grower in the group, Secure Aggregation, is up 1.8x versus 0.9x here.
