Synthetic Datasets

Synthetic datasets are artificially generated datasets designed to augment or replace real-world data in training machine learning models, addressing limitations like data scarcity, cost, and privacy concerns. Current research focuses on generating diverse and representative synthetic data using various techniques, including generative adversarial networks (GANs), diffusion models, and large language models (LLMs), often tailored to specific tasks such as image classification, video understanding, and natural language processing. The creation of high-quality synthetic datasets is crucial for advancing machine learning across numerous fields, enabling more robust model training and facilitating research in areas where real data is limited or difficult to obtain. This approach is particularly impactful in domains like medical imaging and autonomous driving, where data acquisition is expensive and ethically complex.
