# CTGAN

Implementation of our NeurIPS paper **Modeling Tabular data using Conditional GAN**.

# Overview
## Overview

Based on previous work ([TGAN](https://github.com/DAI-Lab/TGAN)) on synthetic data generation,
we develop a new model called CTGAN. Several major differences make CTGAN outperform TGAN.

Based on previous work ([TGAN](https://github.com/DAI-Lab/tgan)) on synthetic data generation, we develop a new model called CTGAN. Several major differences make CTGAN outperform TGAN.
- **Preprocessing**: CTGAN uses more sophisticated Variational Gaussian Mixture Model to detect
modes of continuous columns.
- **Network structure**: TGAN uses LSTM to generate synthetic data column by column. CTGAN uses
Fully-connected networks which is more efficient.
- **Features to prevent mode collapse**: We design a conditional generator and resample the
training data to prevent model collapse on discrete columns. We use WGANGP and PacGAN to
stabilize the training of GAN.

This will pull and install the latest stable release from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/).

## Install from source
If you want to install from source or contribute to the project please read the
[Contributing Guide](https://DAI-Lab.github.io/CTGAN/contributing.html#get-started).

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install it from
source by running `make install` on the `stable` branch:
# Data Format

```bash
git clone [email protected]:DAI-Lab/CTGAN.git
cd CTGAN
git checkout stable
make install
```
**CTGAN** expects the input data to be a table given as either a `numpy.ndarray` or a
`pandas.DataFrame` object with two types of columns:

## Install for Development
* **Continuous Columns**: Columns that contain numerical values and which can take any value.
* **Discrete columns**: Columns that only contain a finite number of possible values, wether
these are string values or not.

If you want to contribute to the project, a few more steps are required to make the project ready
for development.
This is an example of a table with 4 columns:

Please head to the [Contributing Guide](https://DAI-Lab.github.io/CTGAN/contributing.html#get-started)
for more details about this process.
* A continuous column with float values
* A continuous column with integer values
* A discrete column with string values
* A discrete column with integer values

# Quickstart
| | A | B | C | D |
|---|------|-----|-----|---|
| 0 | 0.1 | 100 | 'a' | 1 |
| 1 | -1.3 | 28 | 'b' | 2 |
| 2 | 0.3 | 14 | 'a' | 2 |
| 3 | 1.4 | 87 | 'a' | 3 |
| 4 | -0.1 | 69 | 'b' | 2 |


**NOTE**: CTGAN does not distinguish between float and integer columns, which means that it will
sample float values in all cases. If integer values are required, the outputted float values
must be rounded to integers in a later step, outside of CTGAN.

# Python Quickstart

In this short tutorial we will guide you through a series of steps that will help you
getting started with **CTGAN**.

## 1. Model the data

### Step 1: Prepare your data

## Data format
Before being able to use CTGAN you will need to prepare your data as specified above.

The data is a space (or tab) separated file. For example,
For this example, we will be loading some data using the `ctgan.load_demo` function.

```python
from ctgan import load_demo

data = load_demo()
```
100 A True
200 B False
105 A True
120 C False
... ... ...

This will download a copy of the [Adult Census Dataset](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/adult) as a dataframe:

| age | workclass | fnlwgt | ... | hours-per-week | native-country | income |
|-------|------------------|----------|-----|------------------|------------------|----------|
| 39 | State-gov | 77516 | ... | 40 | United-States | <=50K |
| 50 | Self-emp-not-inc | 83311 | ... | 13 | United-States | <=50K |
| 38 | Private | 215646 | ... | 40 | United-States | <=50K |
| 53 | Private | 234721 | ... | 40 | United-States | <=50K |
| 28 | Private | 338409 | ... | 40 | Cuba | <=50K |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |


Aside from the table itself, you will need to create a list with the names of the discrete
variables.

For this example:

```python
discrete_columns = [
'workclass',
'education',
'marital-status',
'occupation',
'relationship',
'race',
'sex',
'native-country',
'income'
]
```

### Step 2: Fit CTGAN to your data

Metafile describes each column as one line. `C` or `D` at the beginning of each line represent continuous column or discrete column respectively. For continuous column, the following two number indicates the range of the column. For discrete column, the following strings indicate all possible values in the column. For example,
Once you have the data ready, you need to import and create an instance of the `CTGANSynthesizer`
class and fit it passing your data and the list of discrete columns.

```
C 0 500
D A B C
D True False
```python
from ctgan import CTGANSynthesizer

ctgan = CTGANSynthesizer()
ctgan.fit(data, discrete_columns)
```

## Run model
This process is likely to take a long time to run.
If you want to make the process shorter, or longer, you can control the number of training epochs
that the model will be performing by adding it to the `fit` call:

```
USAGE:
python3 ctgan/cli.py [flags]
flags:
--data: Filename of training data.
(default: '')
--max_epoch: Epoches to train.
(default: '100')
(an integer)
--meta: Filename of meta data.
(default: '')
--model_dir: Path to save model.
(default: '')
--output: Output filename.
(default: '')
--sample: Number of rows to generate.
(default: '1000')
(an integer)
```python
ctgan.fit(data, discrete_columns, epochs=5)
```

## Example
## 2. Generate synthetic data

It's easy to try our model using example datasets.
Once the process has finished, all you need to do is call the `sample` method of your
`CTGANSynthesizer` instance indicating the number of rows that you want to generate.

```python
samples = ctgan.sample(1000)
```
git clone https://github.com/DAI-Lab/ctgan
cd ctgan
python3 -m ctgan.cli --data examples/adult.dat --meta examples/adult.meta
```


## What's next?

For more details about **CTGAN** and all its possibilities
and features, please check the [documentation site](https://DAI-Lab.github.io/CTGAN/).
The output will be a table with the exact same format as the input and filled with the synthetic
data generated by the model.

| age | workclass | fnlwgt | ... | hours-per-week | native-country | income |
|---------|--------------|-----------|-----|------------------|------------------|----------|
| 26.3191 | Private | 124079 | ... | 40.1557 | United-States | <=50K |
| 39.8558 | Private | 133996 | ... | 40.2507 | United-States | <=50K |
| 38.2477 | Self-emp-inc | 135955 | ... | 40.1124 | Ecuador | <=50K |
| 29.6468 | Private | 3331.86 | ... | 27.012 | United-States | <=50K |
| 20.9853 | Private | 120637 | ... | 40.0238 | United-States | <=50K |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |


**NOTE**: CTGAN does not distinguish between float and integer columns, which means that it will
sample float values in all cases. If integer values are required, the outputted float values
must be rounded to integers in a later step, outside of CTGAN.
