Most existing data synthesis methods are designed to tackle problems with dataset imbalance, data anonymization, and an insufficient sample size. There is a lack of effective synthesis methods in cases where the actual datasets have a limited number of data points but a large number of features and unknown noise. Thus, in this paper we propose a data synthesis method named Adaptive Subspace Interpolation for Data Synthesis (ASIDS). The idea is to divide the original data feature space into several subspaces with an equal number of data points, and then perform interpolation on the data points in the adjacent subspaces. This method can adaptively adjust the sample size of the synthetic dataset that contains unknown noise, and the generated sample data typically contain minimal errors. Moreover, it adjusts the feature composition of the data points, which can significantly reduce the proportion of the data points with large fitting errors. Furthermore, the hyperparameters of this method have an intuitive interpretation and usually require little calibration. Analysis results obtained using simulated original data and benchmark original datasets demonstrate that ASIDS is a robust and stable method for data synthesis.

Most existing data synthesis methods are designed to tackle problems such as dataset imbalance, data anonymization and insufficient sample size. There is a lack of effective synthesis methods for the limited number of datasets which contain a large of features and unknown noise to expand the size of the dataset. We propose a data synthesis method, named Adaptive Subspace Interpolation for Sample Optimization (ASISO). The idea is to divide the original feature space into several subspaces with an equal number of samples, and then perform interpolation for the samples in the adjacent subspaces. This method can adaptively adjust the size of the dataset containing unknown noise, and the expanded data typically contain minimal error with actual. Moreover, it adjusts the structure of the samples, which can significantly reduce the proportion of samples with large errors. In addition, the hyperparameters of this method have an intuitive explanation and usually require little calibration. Experimental results on artificial data and benchmark data sets demonstrate that ASISO is a robust and stable method to optimize samples.
