Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when a Python workflow needs generated tabular or time-series data, or when exploring the documented Streamlit route for training and profiling tabular samples.
Who it is for
- Python developers who need synthetic structured data for development or testing.
- Practitioners exploring GAN-based generation for tables or time series.
- Users who want a guided interface for training tabular synthesizers and profiling generated samples.
Documented uses
- Generate tabular samples using models such as CTGAN.
- Create synthetic time-series data using examples based on TimeGAN or DoppelGANger.
- Train a tabular synthesizer and generate and profile samples through the Streamlit interface.
Requirements & limits
The repository identifies the project as open source and lists an MIT license. The README gives PyPI installation instructions and specifies Python 3.9 or 3.10.
- The Streamlit interface is documented for tabular generation, while time-series workflows are shown in Jupyter notebook examples.
- The README says its Gaussian Mixture model can be used without a GPU; deep-learning models are described as implemented with TensorFlow 2.0.
- The interface supports CGAN, WGAN, WGANGP, DRAGAN, CRAMER and CTGAN.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the package and launch its Streamlit interface
Set up the documented UI entry point for training a tabular synthesizer and generating and profiling samples.
Before you start
- Python 3.9 or 3.10, as listed in the repository README.
- Run the quickstart in a Python file; Jupyter notebooks are not supported for this interface.
Steps
Install the Streamlit extra with the command below.
pip install fg-data-synthetic[streamlit]In a Python file, import
streamlit_appfromdata_synthetic.Call
streamlit_app.run().
Expected outcome
The README presents this interface for training a synthesizer and generating and profiling synthetic tabular samples.
Guide limitations
- The documented UI flows concern structured tabular data.
- The quickstart explicitly excludes Jupyter notebooks.
