Lesson Plan: Developing Synthetic Tabular Data Generation Algorithms using Generative AI
Subject: Data Science/Artificial Intelligence Level: PhD Students
Duration: 90 minutes
Lesson Objectives: 1. Understand the concept of synthetic tabular data generation using generative AI algorithms. 2. Explore popular generative AI algorithms for tabular data generation, such as CTGAN, CopulaGAN, and TableGAN. 3. Develop skills in implementing and evaluating these algorithms. 4. Apply the learned techniques to real-world datasets.
Materials: - Computer with Python and necessary libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Pandas) - Internet access for accessing resources - Projector or screen for displaying videos and code examples - Worksheets (provided as links below)
Introduction (10 minutes): 1. Greet the students and provide an overview of the lesson objectives. 2. Explain the importance of synthetic tabular data generation in various domains, such as data privacy, data augmentation, and data analysis. 3. Introduce the concept of generative AI algorithms and their role in generating synthetic tabular data. 4. Highlight the three algorithms to be covered in the lesson: CTGAN, CopulaGAN, and TableGAN.
Lesson Outline: 1. CTGAN (20 minutes) a. Explain the working principle of CTGAN and its advantages. b. Demonstrate the implementation of CTGAN using a sample dataset. c. Discuss the limitations and potential challenges of CTGAN. d. Provide a video resource on CTGAN implementation: [Link to video resource]

CopulaGAN (20 minutes) a. Introduce the concept of CopulaGAN and its application in tabular data generation. b. Walk through the steps involved in implementing CopulaGAN. c. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of CopulaGAN. d. Provide a worksheet for hands-on practice with CopulaGAN: [Link to worksheet]
-
TableGAN (20 minutes) a. Explain the architecture and working of TableGAN. b. Discuss the advantages and limitations of TableGAN. c. Demonstrate the implementation of TableGAN using a sample dataset. d. Provide a video resource on TableGAN implementation: [Link to video resource]
Questioning and Discussion (15 minutes): 1. Engage students in a discussion about the differences and similarities between the three algorithms. 2. Encourage students to share their thoughts on the potential applications and challenges of synthetic tabular data generation. 3. Ask open-ended questions to assess students’ understanding of the algorithms and their ability to apply them to real-world scenarios.
Assessment (15 minutes): 1. Assign a small group activity where students work together to evaluate and compare the performance of CTGAN, CopulaGAN, and TableGAN on a given dataset. 2. Each group should present their findings, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm. 3. Evaluate the group presentations based on their understanding of the algorithms, critical thinking, and ability to communicate their findings effectively.
Differentiation: 1. For students who are new to generative AI algorithms, provide additional resources and examples to help them grasp the fundamental concepts. 2. Offer extra challenges or datasets for advanced students to explore and experiment with. 3. Provide one-on-one support to students who may require additional assistance during the hands-on implementation.
Plenary (10 minutes): 1. Summarize the key points covered in the lesson. 2. Encourage students to reflect on their learning experience and discuss any remaining questions or concerns. 3. Provide additional resources for further exploration and self-study.
