Synthetic data generators for tabular and time-series data

Join us on

YData Synthetic

A package to generate synthetic tabular and time-series data leveraging the state of the art generative models.

🎊 We have big news: v1.0.0 is here

We have exciting news for you. The new version of ydata-synthetic include new and exciting features:

• A conditional architecture for tabular data: CTGAN, which will make the process of synthetic data generation easier and with higher quality!
• A new streamlit app that delivers the synthetic data generation experience with a UI interface

Synthetic data

What is synthetic data?

Synthetic data is artificially generated data that is not collected from real world events. It replicates the statistical components of real data without containing any identifiable information, ensuring individuals' privacy.

Why Synthetic Data?

Synthetic data can be used for many applications:

• Privacy
• Remove bias
• Balance datasets
• Augment datasets

ydata-synthetic

This repository contains material related with Generative Adversarial Networks for synthetic data generation, in particular regular tabular data and time-series. It consists a set of different GANs architectures developed using Tensorflow 2.0. Several example Jupyter Notebooks and Python scripts are included, to show how to use the different architectures.

Quickstart

The source code is currently hosted on GitHub at: https://github.com/ydataai/ydata-synthetic

Binary installers for the latest released version are available at the Python Package Index (PyPI).

pip install ydata-synthetic

The UI guide for synthetic data generation

YData synthetic has now a UI interface to guide you through the steps and inputs to generate structure tabular data. The streamlit app is available form v1.0.0 onwards, and supports the following flows:

• Train a synthesizer model
• Generate & profile synthetic data samples

Installation

pip install ydata-syntehtic[streamlit]

Quickstart

Use the code snippet below in a python file (Jupyter Notebooks are not supported):

from ydata_synthetic import streamlit_app

streamlit_app.run()

Or use the file streamlit_app.py that can be found in the examples folder.

python -m streamlit_app

The below models are supported:

• CGAN
• WGAN
• WGANGP
• DRAGAN
• CRAMER
• CTGAN

Examples

Here you can find usage examples of the package and models to synthesize tabular data.

• Tabular synthetic data generation with CTGAN on adult census income dataset
• Time Series synthetic data generation with TimeGAN on stock dataset
• More examples are continuously added and can be found in /examples directory.

Datasets for you to experiment

Here are some example datasets for you to try with the synthesizers:

Tabular datasets

• Adult Census Income
• Credit card fraud
• Cardiovascular Disease dataset

Sequential datasets

• Stock data

Project Resources

In this repository you can find the several GAN architectures that are used to create synthesizers:

Tabular data

• GAN
• CGAN (Conditional GAN)
• WGAN (Wasserstein GAN)
• WGAN-GP (Wassertein GAN with Gradient Penalty)
• DRAGAN (On Convergence and stability of GANS)
• Cramer GAN (The Cramer Distance as a Solution to Biased Wasserstein Gradients)
• CWGAN-GP (Conditional Wassertein GAN with Gradient Penalty)
• CTGAN (Conditional Tabular GAN)

Sequential data

• TimeGAN
