Synthesizing Geospatial Data with A Simple NoGAN Technique
- Vincent Granville
- July 28, 2023
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 […]

Sound Generation in Python: Turning Your Data into Music
- Vincent Granville
- July 13, 2023
Not long ago, I published here an article entitled “The Sound that Data Makes”. The goal was turning data — random noise in this case — into music. The hope was that by “listening” to your data, you could gain a different kind of insights, not conveyed by visualizations or tabular summaries. This article is […]

A Synthetic Stock Exchange Played with Real Money
- Vincent Granville
- May 15, 2023
Not only that, but you can predict — more precisely compute with absolute certainty — what the value of any stock will be tomorrow. Transaction fees are well below 0.05% and the market, at least in the version presented here, is fair: in other words, a zero-sum game if you play by luck. If instead […]

New Book: Synthetic Data and Generative AI
- Vincent Granville
- November 28, 2022
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. […]

The Sound that Data Makes
- Vincent Granville
- August 29, 2022
Featured in chapter 11 in my book “Intuitive Machine Learning and Explainable AI”, available here. It is common these days to read stories about the sound of black holes, deep space or the abyss. But what if you could turn your data into music? There are a few reasons one might want to do this. First, […]

Weird Random Walks: Synthetizing, Testing and Leveraging Quasi-randomness
- Vincent Granville
- August 11, 2022
Entitled “Weird Random Walks: Synthetizing, Testing and Leveraging Quasi-randomness”, the full version in PDF format is accessible in the “Free Books and Articles” section, here. I discuss different types of synthetized random walks that are almost perfectly random, in one and two dimensions. Besides the theoretical interest, it provides new modeling tools, especially for physicists, engineers, natural […]
