Synthetic Data Generation
Synthetic data uses models, simulations, and transformations to create training examples when real data is scarce, risky, or expensive.
GANsData augmentationSelf-instruct
Mental model
Generate practice worlds, then test against reality.
Synthetic data powers instruction tuning, robotics simulation, rare-event detection, privacy-preserving workflows, and evaluation sets.
