Sequential RC-TGAN: Generating Relational Time Series with Spectral Envelope Loss

The generation of synthetic relational databases often involves modeling complex temporal dynamics, such as transaction logs or event sequences. A significant challenge in this domain is the handling of categorical time series (e.g., status codes), where standard encoding methods like one-hot encoding fail to capture intrinsic frequency-domain features such as seasonality and cyclicity. In this paper, we introduce Sequential RC-TGAN (Seq. RC-TGAN), a temporal extension of the RC-TGAN framework, equipped with a novel integrated loss function based on the \textit{Spectral Envelope Theory}. This
