Synthetic Data Generation

Image
Synthetic data is a common way to help test and train machine learning models. It’s usually easier to use synthetic data for simple applications like data augmentation, but for more complex uses, like explainable AI, it can be challenging. Single subject tables are the easiest type of table to synthesize. This is because each row describes a unique real-world entity – a customer, a patient, or a company employee – and doesn’t depend on the contents of other rows. Generative Modeling The goal of synthetic data generation is to create data that is statistically similar to real-world data. Data teams start with a real-world dataset, learn patterns and correlations, and then use those to create synthetic data that looks, feels, and means the same. Tabular data, like spreadsheets, text data from chatbots or machine translation software, and unstructured image, video, and audio data are common examples of synthetic data. This type of data can help eliminate the need for regulated or...
