- optical flow
- 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
- Vincent Granville
- March 8, 2023
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
- Vincent Granville
- February 23, 2023
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 […]
