NoGAN: New Generation of Synthetic Data (Video)

My talk at the Generative AI Conference, London, September 2023. View or download the PowerPoint presentation, here. I introduce a new, NoGAN alternative to standard tabular data synthetization. It is designed to run faster by several orders of magnitude, compared to training generative adversarial networks (GAN). In addition, the quality of the generated data is […]

GenAI: Fast Data Synthetization with Distribution-free Hierarchical Bayesian Models

Deep learning models such as generative adversarial networks (GAN) require a lot of computing power, and are thus expensive. Also, they may not convergence. What if you could produce better data synthetizations, in a fraction of the time, with explainable AI and substantial cost savings? This is what Hierarchical Deep Resampling was designed for. It […]

New Python Library to Evaluate AI-generated Data and Compare Models

Called GenAI-Evalution, you use it for instance to assess the quality of tabular synthetic data. In this case, it measures how faithfully the synthetization mimics the real data it is derived from, by comparing the full joint empirical distributions (ECDF) attached to the two datasets. It works both with categorical and numerical features, and returns […]

Generative AI Technology Break-through: Spectacular Performance of New Synthesizer

Neural network methods have overshadowed all other techniques in the last decade, to the point that alternatives are simply ignored. And for good reasons: techniques such as generative adversarial networks (GAN) proved very successful in some contexts, especially computer vision. Indeed, there has been several attempts to turn every problem and traditional method — regression, […]

Synthesizing Geospatial Data with A Simple NoGAN Technique

If you regularly read my articles, you know that I developed several different techniques for data synthetization. Many are explained in details in my upcoming book Synthetic Data and Generative AI (Elsevier), available here. It includes generative adversarial networks (GANs), copulas, agent-based modeling, methods based on interpolation, correlated noise mixtures, and more. The technique presented […]

Autonomous Driving: Boosting Optical Flow with Synthetic Data

Optical flow is defined as the task of estimating per-pixel motion between video frames. Optical flow models take two sequential frames as input and return as output a flow vector that predicts where each pixel in the first frame will be in the second frame. Optical flow is an important task for autonomous driving, but […]

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 […]
