New Book: Gentle Introduction To Chaotic Dynamical Systems
In less than 100 pages, the book covers all important topics about discrete chaotic dynamical systems and related time series and stochastic processes, ranging from introductory to advanced, in one and two dimensions. State-of-the art methods and new results are presented in simple English. Yet, some mathematical proofs appear for the first time in this […]

Data Synthetization: enhanced GANs vs Copulas
Using case studies, I compare generative adversarial networks (GANs) with copulas to synthesize tabular data. I discuss back-end and front-end improvements to help GANs better replicate the correlation structure present in the real data. Likewise, I discuss methods to further improve copulas, including transforms, the use of separate copulas for each population segment, and parametric […]

Data Synthetization Explained in One Picture
The diagram is organized as follows. Dashed blue lines are associated to GANs (generative adversarial networks), where the goal is to produce a sequence of synthetic datasets that get better and better at mimicking the structure present in the real data, over successive iterations. The diagram features 5 such iterations, with the synthetized datasets denoted […]

New Book: Synthetic Data and Generative AI
Synthetic data is used more and more to augment real-life datasets, enriching them and allowing black-box systems to correctly classify observations or predict values that are well outside of training and validation sets. In addition, it helps understand decisions made by obscure systems such as deep neural networks, contributing to the development of explainable AI. […]
