Synthetic data
Useful records need more than realism. These guides examine generated tables, structured healthcare records, and defensive fraud experiments. Each starts with a defined purpose and keeps schema validity, statistical resemblance, downstream utility, and privacy as separate evaluation questions.
Begin with the general tabular workflow, then follow the domain-specific guide that matches your dataset. Keep the evaluation boundary intact, document the sampling process, and choose a release context supported by the evidence. Synthetic records should never be silently presented as newly observed people or events.
GANs for Fraud Detection: An Experiment Without Data Leakage
Design a defensive augmentation experiment with time-aware splits, fair baselines, and thresholds tied to a real review workflow.
