SDGym Datasets

SDGym uses SDV datasets to benchmark the Synthesizers which are in three data modalities:

  • Single Table Datasets: Datasets that contain only one table with no inter-row dependencies.

  • Multi Table Datasets: Datasets that contain more than one table, potentially with relationships between them.

  • Time Series Datasets: Datasets that contain a single table that represents sequences of rows.

Dataset Format

The SDV Datasets are comprised of two elements:

  • A metadata.json file which describes the data found in the dataset. This file follows the SDV Metadata schema

  • A collection of CSV files stored in a format which can be loaded by the pandas.read_csv function without any additional arguments than the csv path.

Using the datasets

All the datasets can also be found for download inside the sdv-datasets S3 bucket in the form of a .zip file that contains both the metadata.json and the CSV file collection.

In order to load these datasets in the same format as they will be passed to your synthesizer you can use the sdgym.load_dataset function passing the name of the dataset to load.

In this example, we will load the adult dataset:

In [1]: from sdgym.datasets import load_dataset

In [2]: metadata = load_dataset('adult')

This will read the metadata.json file and return it as a sdv.Metadata instance.

In [3]: metadata
Out[3]:
Metadata
  root_path: /home/xals/.local/share/SDGym/datasets/adult
  tables: ['adult']
  relationships:

Afterwards, you can load the tables from the dataset passing the loaded metadata to the sdgym.load_tables function:

In [4]: from sdgym.datasets import load_tables

In [5]: tables = load_tables(metadata)

This will return a dict containing the tables loaded as pandas.DataFrames.

In [6]: tables

Getting the list of all the datasets

If you want to obtain the list of all the available datasets you can use the sdgym.datasets.get_available_datasets function:

In [7]: from sdgym.datasets import get_available_datasets

In [8]: get_available_datasets()
Out[8]:
                          name      size
