• Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) became very popular for generation of realistically looking images. In this paper, we propose to use GANs to synthesize artificial financial data for research and benchmarking purposes. We test this approach on three American Express datasets, and show that properly trained GANs can replicate these datasets with high fidelity. For our experiments, we define a novel type of GAN, and suggest methods for data preprocessing that allow good training and testing performance of GANs. We also discuss methods for evaluating the quality of generated data, and their comparison with the original real data.

  Large language models (LLM) have been used for diverse tasks, but do not capture the correct correlation between the features and the target variable. We propose a LLM-based method with three important improvements to correctly capture the ground-truth feature-class correlation in the real data. Our experiments show that our method significantly outperforms 10 SOTA baselines on 20 datasets in downstream tasks.

  The published method Generative Adversarial Networks for Recommender Systems (GANRS) allows generating data sets for collaborative filtering recommendation systems. We have tested the GANRS method by creating multiple synthetic datasets from three different real datasets taken as a source. We have also selected six state-of-the-art collaborative filtering deep learning models to test both their comparative performance and the GANRS method.

  Face Recognition (FR) models are trained on large-scale datasets, which have privacy and ethical concerns. Lately, the use of synthetic data to complement or replace genuine data for the training of FR models has been proposed. We introduce a new method, inspired by the physical motion of soft particles subjected to Brownian forces, allowing us to sample identities in a latent space under various constraints. With this in hands, we generate several face datasets and benchmark them by training FR models, showing that data generated with our method exceeds the performance of previously GAN-based datasets and achieves competitive performance with state-of-the-

  We propose a novel architecture called the DownStream Feedback Generative Adversarial Network (DSF-GAN) DSF-GAN incorporates feedback from a downstream prediction model during training to augment the generator's loss function with valuable information. Our experiments demonstrate improved model performance when training on synthetic samples generated by DSF-GAN, compared to those generated by the same GAN architecture without feedback.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) usually struggle in learning from highly diverse data, whose underlying manifold is complex. We show that score matching serves as a promising solution to this issue thanks to its capability of persistently pushing the generated data points towards the real data manifold. We propose to improve the optimization of GANs with score matching regularity (SMaRt)

• Partially Conditioned Generative Adversarial Networks [75.08725392017698]
  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) let one synthesise artificial datasets by implicitly modelling the underlying probability distribution of a real-world training dataset. With the introduction of Conditional GANs and their variants, these methods were extended to generating samples conditioned on ancillary information available for each sample within the dataset. In this work, we argue that standard Conditional GANs are not suitable for such a task and propose a new Adversarial Network architecture and training strategy.
