We have proposed a new approach for synthetic bank transaction generation with time factor. For that we developed the mechanism for synthetic time generation based on Poisson processes, preprocessing scheme for all kinds of attributes in transactional data and the new GAN architecture with generator, supervisor and two discriminators with conditional vector depending on time.
All data and pretrained models from the last updates can be found by the link on google drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mw3uUlw2yGz6N6BiaPe-5G-Iv-4s-6EO?usp=sharing.
The general pipeline includes the following architecture: generator, supervisor and two discriminators. As Input we use a bounded stochastic process from the DCL family instead of standard Gaussian Noise for time dependencies and smoothenes of transitions between transactions. For a more detailed description see the article the section Generative Method.
We implement the new preprocessing scheme which work for categorical attributes with a big number of unique values (Frequeny Encoder plus DP Autoencoder), categorical attributes with a small number of unique values (OneHot plus DP Autoencoder), numerical attributes (Gaussian Normalize, MinMax plus DP Autoencoder) and time attribute (sine and cosine values for days and months).
Our approach TRGAN use conditional generation with time-dependent factor. Therefore we use conditional vector with time factor and the information about categories of clients in a specific time period.
Were have prepared the table of hyperparameters which were used for experiments in the article. Every parameters can be changed in the follwong files: TRGAN_main.py and TRGAN notebooks .ipynb for each dataset.
