v303

Sep 23rd, 2024

Distances (DCR) metric now uses 10% validation set as a true holdout

The Distances metric (Distance to Closest Record) now uses a 10% validation dataset as a true holdout. The true holdout is drawn completely randomly from the original dataset.

With this approach, the distances are now calculated between the synthetic samples and their closest neighbors from the training dataset (90% of the original dataset after the holdout split). For reference, you also have the distances between the synthetic samples and their closest neighbors from the holdout dataset. You can then use both distances calculations to gauge that the synthetic samples are just as close to the training data as they are to the holdout data (the data not seen during training).

Distances (DCR) metric now uses embeddings

The Distances metric is now improved to use embeddings for both tabular and text columns. As embeddings aim to capture the semantic similarities between words, the metrics now calculate the L2 distance between samples converted to JSON that are then embedded in a vector space and the distances between samples are then compared.

For details, see Distances.

Improved resilience of running generators and synthetic datasets

MOSTLY AI now supports improved mechanisms to ensure that running generators and synthetic datasets complete training and generation successfully even in the case of unexpected infrastructure interruptions. Such failures can be the result of evicted compute nodes due to cluster resource polices that may reschedule a resource for other tasks.

For running generators, the training process automatically restarts from the last checkpoint with the saved model weights to ensure that training progress is never lost due to unexpected interruptions.

Improvements

• Selected compute now appears for each model in the Training status and Generation status sections
• Get the actual datetime of when a generator or synthetic dataset was created by hovering over the time elapsed value next to the Created by field
• Use the new Auto encoding type and MOSTLY AI will detect the best encoding type for a column

GPU support

MOSTLY AI introduces Nvidia CUDA GPU support for your synthetic data workloads 🎉

Our testing shows that you can now achieve the following with GPUs:

• ~2x to ~5x speedups of generator training across most single-table and multi-table scenarios
• ~24x speedup of generator training for datasets with sequence lengths of 100
• ~2x to ~9x speedups of synthetic data generation across most single-table and multi-table scenarios

With flexible computes now supported, you can assign the same or separate GPU computes to each AI model task, either when you train a generator, or when you generate synthetic data. For example, for your subject table AI model training you can use a CPU compute, and for linked tables with long sequences you can select a GPU compute and reduce overall training times.

To start, you can now define your custom compute that includes GPU and select the compute that best fits the needs for each task. For details, see Flexible compute.

Flexible compute

With flexible compute, we want to enable all custom deployments of MOSTLY AI to define flexible compute resources.

As long as the underlying hardware supports a compute resource with a defined number of CPUs and memory, or a defined number of GPUs and GPU memory, you can add a custom compute.

Thereafter, you can assign each AI model to use a different compute. This applies to both generator training and synthetic data generation.

For details, see Compute in the Administration section.

Synthetic datasets is why you use MOSTLY AI! High accuracy, high data quality, privacy-protected synthetic datasets.

We want you to focus on generating synthetic data and we are adding the term to the top-level menu in the MOSTLY AI Synthetic Data Platform!

With that, we also want to say goodbye to Jobs. You served our users well and we are thankful for it!

Source and destination connector types

You can now define each connector as either a data source or a destination. That way, you can only select destination connectors for your synthetic dataset destination and prevent the risk of selecting a data source as the destination.

New design for synthetic datasets summary

When you now open a synthetic dataset from the new Synthetic datasets tab, a new summary page provides easier access to the preview of sample data, the QA report, the tracking of the synthetic dataset progress, and the configuration of the synthetic dataset.

You can use the sidebar on the right to quickly access each section.

• Overview
• Sample data
• QA Report
• Logs
• Configuration

Numeric (Auto) encoding type

The new encoding type Numeric (Auto) is now auto-assigned to columns that contain numeric data. Numeric (Auto) uses heuristics to automatically assign the relevant one of the available Numeric encoding types: Discrete, Digit, or Binned.

You no longer need to worry about which Numeric encoding type you need to use. Just select Numeric (Auto).

v111

Aug 17th, 2023

New Numeric encoding types

You can now select from three different Numeric encoding types: Digit, Discrete, and Binned.

Preview of synthetic data is now available for shared jobs

The Synthetic data tab in a completed job is now available on shared jobs. When you share a link to a completed job with your team, they can now access the Synthetic data tab in the job and preview the generated synthetic data in the job.

Drop tables in the destination

The new option Drop tables in the destination in the Output settings will drop any tables that match the names of the tables in your synthetic data job. MOSTLY AI drops the tables at the start of the job before it completes AI model training and data generation.

You can enable Drop tables in the destination after you start a new job and select a database connector as the destination. The option is not available for cloud storage connectors.

Search database tables when adding them to a catalog

In v110, MOSLTY AI introduced a drop-down to add tables from a database. You can now enter a search term in the drop-down to filter the list of tables and more easily find the table you want to add.

v110

Aug 3rd, 2023

Support for multiple tables in ad hoc and cloud storage jobs

You can now create and configure multi-table jobs not only with databases, but also with file uploads and cloud storage catalog jobs.

New Tables tab in job configuration

For each job configuration, the new Tables tab gives you a list of all tables in the job. The Tables tab is also the new home of all training settings that were previously available in the Training settings tab. Moving forward, the Training settings tab will be no longer available.

In the Tables tab, you can now also add and remove tables from a job.

When you start a job, the Tables tab opens and contains no tables. You can add new tables with the Add table button. This action is supported in all job types: ad hoc, database catalogs, and cloud storage catalogs.

Easier database catalog creation flow

With the new database catalog flow, you no longer need to identify subject tables and rank them.

After you select a database connector, MOSTLY AI shows the new Tables tab where you can now add tables from your cloud buckets or databases and remove any tables that you no longer need.

Easier configuration of table relationships

You can now use the Foreign key option in Generation method to define relationships between tables. This is now available in the Data settings tab during job configuration.

To mark a table as a linked table, specify which of its columns is set as a Context foreign key to another table.

Table relationships configuration is no longer required to start a job

You can now start a job with two or more subject tables. You no longer need to define a relationship and mark any of the tables as a linked table.

Reference tables are now only available in old catalogs

With v110 of MOSTLY AI, the concept of reference tables is no longer available for any newly created jobs or catalogs. All tables in a job are either a subject table (by default) or a linked table (after you set a foreign key to another table). You can only view reference tables in catalogs that you created before v110.

However, you can no longer change the configuration of reference tables, such as set any primary or foreign keys.

Updates in Generate more data

You can now use Generate more data for all job types including database catalog jobs.

With the capability to have ad hoc jobs with multiple uploaded subject tables, for such jobs you will now need to specify the number of new generated subjects or provide a table seed for every subject table in the job.

Resolved issues

• MCD-2071 Implemented better precision when handling primary keys

v109

Jul 19th, 2023

Use different types of data sources and destinations for the same job

Regardless of the type of data source you use for your original data, you can now deliver the generated synthetic data into any type of destination that suits your downstream tasks.

You can now select a different type of connector for the delivery of your synthetic data, so you can mix and match, such as use original data from Databricks but deliver the synthetic data into Snowflake, or use original data from a Microsoft SQL Server database and deliver the synthetic data into a PostgreSQL database.

v108

Jul 6th, 2023

Preview generated synthetic data

When a synthetic data job completes, you can now preview the first up to 100 samples from each generated synthetic table.

Share links to generated synthetic data

With MOSTLY AI, you can now share links to completed synthetic data jobs with anyone. Send the links to colleagues or data-minded friends and they can download the generated synthetic data and review all available QA reports.

Improved star schema support with better handling of correlations between linked tables

We improved the support of star schemas and now provide better handling of the correlations between linked tables. In such cases, synthetic linked tables with correlations now have better quality and accuracy.

SSL support in PostgreSQL connectors

You can now configure your PostgreSQL connectors to use secure SSL connections to the database.

Job progress is now updated every second

As you track the progress of a running job from the Jobs tab or in the View tasks drawer, the progress is now updated every second to provide a more responsive experience.

Resolved issues

• MPD-3220 - In the previous version, when you clicked Stop generation while looking at a job progress in the View tasks drawer, the job would continue generating data and ignore the action. We have now resolved this issue and clicking Stop generation now takes immediate effect.
• MCD-1952 - When a column is set as both a primary key and a foreign key in the original data, MOSTLY AI prioritizes the foreign key relationship and the issue is handled gracefully.
• MCD-1951 - Resolved an issue when MOSTLY AI writes primary keys in UUID format that are longer than the maximum number of characters allowed by the column data type in the destination database

Increased speed

Benefit from a smaller synthetic data footprint and shorter time-to-data

• MOSTLY AI can not only process datasets virtually limitless in size, it can now ingest and encode them faster than before.

• Overall AI model training speeds halved, and wide tables now benefit from a faster training time for the first epoch.

• We achieved a ten-fold increase in synthetic data generation performance. What MOSTLY AI used to generate in minutes can now be done in seconds.

Better synthetic data

Privacy-security is now out-of-the-box and takes zero effort to realize

• MOSTLY AI protects rare categories by replacing them with non-rare categories. Release 2.2 replaces them in a context-aware manner. For instance, if a female data subject has a rare name, it will be replaced with a female non-rare name.

• Rare category protection can no longer be adjusted or turned off.

• Extreme values are now protected in all numerical formats, including datetime and ITT.

• Lists, sequences, and time-series data now benefit from extreme sequence length protection.

• Improved accuracy of sequence length distributions in the synthetic data, as minimum sequence lengths are now respected.

Simpler preparation

• Use the batch size AI model training parameters to balance training speed with memory availability. The appropriate learning rate is now calculated in the background.

• If your synthesization job doesn’t run as desired, you can choose a smaller or bigger AI model size to mitigate the issue.

• The job summary now shows a progress bar for each epoch, giving you an indication of how long AI model training will take.

• The “generate more data” function for synthesization jobs created with release 2.2 will now work with all upcoming versions of MOSTLY AI.

v2.0

Nov 2nd, 2021

Synthetize your data wherever it is

Mostly AI 2.0 is now capable of synthesizing entire databases!

It connects to your data sources, recognizes its columns and their relationships, and provides you with a synthetic version of your data wherever you need it.

There are no more limits to what you can synthesize. Connect to your databases, buckets, and files without any hurdles.

Be ready for the synthetic data revolution. It’s already here.

New UI

A new customer centric UI

With Mostly AI 2.0 we introduce a new UI!

The new UI has been redesigned with a customer centric approach.

The task of creating a new synthesization job has never been easier.

And it looks cool too!

Multi-table data catalog

Synthesize complex data structures

With Mostly AI 2.0 it is now possible to define multi-table data catalogs!

The complexity of your data source is now represented in the data catalog:

• Support of primary keys,
• Support of foreign keys,
• and Referential integrity.

The platform understands the relationships between all the tables and create a synthesization plan based on these relationships.

The result is synthetic version of your data in its original form!

Parallel computing

Better performance thanks to parallelization

Thanks to a major architectural redesign, the Mostly AI platform now supports parallel computing.

In case of multi-table synthetic generation, the Mostly AI platform will intelligently divide the tasks that can be calculated in parallel in the available VMs.

Data connectors

Create your data source once and re-use it!

You can now define data connectors in the Mostly AI platform!

Data connector can be used as a source of data or as a data destination.

You can fetch data from your production data lake or database and push them wherever you need!

Mock data

A perfect way to test the extremes

Some of the biggest challenges when testing software can be getting the software into some very specific states. You want to test that the new error message works, but this message is only shown when something breaks. You may have no direct control over and you really need to manipulate this data in order to perform your tests.

You can now define Mock Data in the generation process!

Mock data makes it possible to simulate errors and circumstances that would otherwise be very difficult to create in a real world environment.

New QA report

A new and intuitive QA report

The new QA Report is available directly in the UI. You can explore the results of your generation job and see if there are privacy or accuracy warnings!
