• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a distributed Generative Adversarial Networks (discGANs) to generate synthetic tabular data specific to the healthcare domain. While using GANs to generate images has been well studied, little to no attention has been given to generation of tabular data. Modeling distributions of discrete and continuous tabular data is a non-trivial task with high utility. We applied discGAN to model non-Gaussian multi-modal healthcare data. We generated 249,000 synthetic records from original 2,027 eICU dataset. We evaluated the performance of the model using machine learning efficacy, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test for continuous variables and chi-squared test for discrete variables. Our results show that discGAN was able to generate data with distributions similar to the real data.

  When the data dimensionality increases, existing models tend to degenerate and may perform even worse than simpler, non-diffusion-based models. This is because limited training samples in high-dimensional space often hinder generative models from capturing the distribution accurately. We propose CtrTab to improve the performance of diffusion-based generative models in high-dimensional, low-data scenarios.

  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.

  Diffusion models (DPMs) have rapidly evolved to be one of the predominant generative models for the simulation of synthetic data. We propose using DPMs for the generation of synthetic individual location trajectories (ILTs) which are sequences of variables representing physical locations visited by individuals.

  Synthetic data generation is a promising solution to mitigate privacy concerns when sharing sensitive patient information. Recent studies have shown that diffusion models offer several advantages over GANs, such as generation of more realistic synthetic data and stable training in generating data modalities, including image, text, and sound. Our experiments demonstrate that TabDDPM outperforms the state-of-the-art models across all evaluation metrics, except for privacy, which confirms the trade-off between privacy and utility.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are modern methods to learn the underlying distribution of a data set. GANs are designed in a model-free fashion where no additional information about the underlying distribution is available. We propose a principled design of a model-based GAN that uses a set of simple discriminators on the neighborhoods of the Bayes-net/MRF.
