A Synthetic Training Dataset is a training dataset that is artificially generated or synthesized rather than being collected from real-world events or interactions.
- Context:
- It can (often) be used to Machine Learning Model Training (e.g. when real-world data is scarce, sensitive, or difficult to obtain).
- It can be generated using various techniques such as simulation, data augmentation, or generative adversarial networks (GANs).
- It can help in addressing issues like data privacy, data bias, and data scarcity in machine learning.
- It can be tailored to include specific features or scenarios that are not present in the available real-world data.
- It can improve the robustness and generalizability of machine learning models.
