Synthetic Data
Artificially generated data used to train or evaluate AI models.
📖 Apprentice Explanation
Synthetic data is fake data that AI creates to help train other AI. When real data is scarce, expensive, or private, AI can generate realistic substitutes for training purposes.
🧙 Archmage Notes
Synthetic data generation uses LLMs, GANs, or rule-based systems to create training examples. Used for data augmentation, privacy preservation, and addressing class imbalance. Quality and diversity of synthetic data significantly impact downstream model performance.
