- Abstract: The use of synthetic data in machine learning applications and research offers many benefits, including performance improvements through data augmentation, privacy preservation of original samples, and reliable method assessment with fully synthetic data. This work proposes a time-efficient synthetic data generation method based on a fully connected neural network and a randomized loss function that transforms a random Gaussian distribution to approximate a target real-world dataset. The experiments conducted on 25 diverse tabular real-world datasets confirm that the proposed solution surpasses the state-of-the-art generative methods and achieves reference MMD scores orders of magnitude faster than modern deep learning solutions. The experiments involved analyzing distributional similarity, assessing the impact on classification quality, and using PCA for dimensionality reduction, which further enhances data privacy and can boost classification quality while reducing time and memory complexity.
