# REaLTabFormer

The REaLTabFormer (Realistic Relational and Tabular Data using Transformers) offers a unified framework for synthesizing tabular data of different types. A sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) model is used for generating synthetic relational datasets. The REaLTabFormer model for a non-relational tabular data uses GPT-2, and can be used out-of-the-box to model any tabular data with independent observations.

## Installation

REaLTabFormer is available on PyPi and can be easily installed with [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/) (Python version >= 3.7):

```bash
pip install realtabformer
```

## Usage

We show examples of using the REaLTabFormer for modeling and generating synthetic data from a trained model.

> [!NOTE]
> The model implements an optimal stopping criterion based on the synthetic data distribution when training a non-relational tabular model.
> The model will stop training when the synthetic data distribution is close to the real data distribution.
>
> **Make sure to set the `epochs` parameter to a large number to allow the model to fit the data better.**
> The model will stop training when the optimal stopping criterion is met.

### REaLTabFormer for regular tabular data

```Python
# pip install realtabformer
import pandas as pd
from realtabformer import REaLTabFormer

df = pd.read_csv("foo.csv")

# NOTE: Remove any unique identifiers in the
# data that you don't want to be modeled.

# Non-relational or parent table.
rtf_model = REaLTabFormer(
    model_type="tabular",
    gradient_accumulation_steps=4,
    logging_steps=100)

# Fit the model on the dataset.
# Additional parameters can be
# passed to the `.fit` method.
rtf_model.fit(df)

# Save the model to the current directory.
# A new directory `rtf_model/` will be created.
# In it, a directory with the model's
# experiment id `idXXXX` will also be created
# where the artefacts of the model will be stored.
rtf_model.save("rtf_model/")

# Generate synthetic data with the same
# number of observations as the real dataset.
samples = rtf_model.sample(n_samples=len(df))

# Load the saved model. The directory to the
# experiment must be provided.
rtf_model2 = REaLTabFormer.load_from_dir(
    path="rtf_model/idXXXX")
```

### REaLTabFormer for relational data

```Python
# pip install realtabformer
import os
import pandas as pd
from pathlib import Path
from realtabformer import REaLTabFormer

parent_df = pd.read_csv("foo.csv")
child_df = pd.read_csv("bar.csv")
join_on = "unique_id"

# Make sure that the key columns in both the
# parent and the child table have the same name.
assert ((join_on in parent_df.columns) and
        (join_on in child_df.columns))

# Non-relational or parent table. Don't include the
# unique_id field.
parent_model = REaLTabFormer(model_type="tabular")
parent_model.fit(parent_df.drop(join_on, axis=1))

pdir = Path("rtf_parent/")
parent_model.save(pdir)

# # Get the most recently saved parent model,
# # or a specify some other saved model.
# parent_model_path = pdir / "idXXX"
parent_model_path = sorted([
    p for p in pdir.glob("id*") if p.is_dir()],
    key=os.path.getmtime)[-1]

child_model = REaLTabFormer(
    model_type="relational",
    parent_realtabformer_path=parent_model_path,
    output_max_length=None,
    train_size=0.8)

child_model.fit(
    df=child_df,
    in_df=parent_df,
    join_on=join_on)

# Generate parent samples.
parent_samples = parent_model.sample(len(parend_df))

# Create the unique ids based on the index.
parent_samples.index.name = join_on
parent_samples = parent_samples.reset_index()

# Generate the relational observations.
child_samples = child_model.sample(
    input_unique_ids=parent_samples[join_on],
    input_df=parent_samples.drop(join_on, axis=1),
    gen_batch=64)

```

## Validators for synthetic samples

The REaLTabFormer framework provides an interface to easily build observation validators for filtering invalid synthetic samples. We show an example of using the `GeoValidator` below. The chart on the left shows the distribution of the generated latitude and longitude without validation. The chart on the right shows the synthetic samples with observations that have been validated using the `GeoValidator` with the California boundary. Still, even when we did not optimally train the model for generating this, the invalid samples (falling outside of the boundary) are scarce from the generated data with no validator.
