TSGM is an open-source framework for synthetic time series dataset generation and evaluation.
The framework can be used for creating synthetic datasets (see 🔨 Generators ), augmenting time series data (see 🎨 Augmentations ), evaluating synthetic data with respect to consistency, privacy, downstream performance, and more (see 📈 Metrics ), using common time series datasets (TSGM provides easy access to more than 140 datasets, see 💾 Datasets ).
We provide:
- Documentation with a complete overview of the implemented methods,
- Tutorials that describe practical use-cases of the framework.
pip install tsgm
To install tsgm
on Apple M1 and M2 chips:
# Install tensorflow
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow=2.9.1
# Install tsgm without dependencies
pip install tsgm --no-deps
# Install rest of the dependencies (separately here for clarity)
conda install tensorflow-probability scipy antropy statsmodels dtaidistance networkx optuna prettytable seaborn scikit-learn yfinance tqdm
import tsgm
# ... Define hyperparameters ...
# dataset is a tensor of shape n_samples x seq_len x feature_dim
# Zoo contains several prebuilt architectures: we choose a conditional GAN architecture
architecture = tsgm.models.architectures.zoo["cgan_base_c4_l1"](
seq_len=seq_len, feat_dim=feature_dim,
latent_dim=latent_dim, output_dim=0)
discriminator, generator = architecture.discriminator, architecture.generator
# Initialize GAN object with selected discriminator and generator
gan = tsgm.models.cgan.GAN(
discriminator=discriminator, generator=generator, latent_dim=latent_dim
)
gan.compile(
d_optimizer=keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=0.0003),
g_optimizer=keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=0.0003),
loss_fn=keras.losses.BinaryCrossentropy(from_logits=True),
