US Census 1990

This is one of the datasets we used for our experiments.

We decided to save the data in data/uscensus:

mkdir -p data/uscensus

To download the data you can visit the UCI Machine Learning Repository or download it directly:

cd data/uscensus
wget https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/census1990-mld/USCensus1990.data.txt

To transform the csv data one-hot-encoding each categorical variable we run:

python multi_categorical_gans/datasets/uscensus/transform.py \
    data/uscensus/USCensus1990.data.txt \
    data/uscensus/USCensus1990.features.npz \
    data/uscensus/metadata.json

For more information about the transformation run:

python multi_categorical_gans/datasets/uscensus/transform.py -h
