👀 I just stumbled upon this old post where I create a tiny (the smallest I could think of) Generative Adversarial Network in #rstats #torch to understand how it works, especially in the context of #SyntheticData

The GAN learns to generate data from a Normal(1, 3) distribution from scratch

Synthetic Data là gì? A-Z về dữ liệu tổng hợp trong học máy

Dữ liệu là “nhiên liệu” không thể thiếu của AI và học máy. Tuy nhiên, việc sử dụng dữ liệu thực tiềm ẩn nhiều rủi ro về quyền riêng tư. Đây chính là lúc dữ liệu tổng hợp (Synthetic Data) phát huy vai trò. Hãy cùng khám phá Synthetic Data là gì, vì sao nó quan trọng và cách nó được ứng dụng trong thực tế.

Synthetic data is helping businesses innovate when real data is scarce or sensitive, supporting safer AI, model training, and compliance. Used in health, finance, retail and more, it offers privacy, scalability and efficiency—when well-managed. #AI #SyntheticData #DataPrivacy #Innovation #TechTrends https://levelact.com/how-synthetic-data-is-powering-the-next-wave-of-ai-and-innovation/

Synthetic data—realistic yet artificial—helps organisations overcome data shortages, privacy risks and compliance challenges. It enables safer AI model training, testing edge cases, and simulating new markets, but should complement, not fully replace, real data. #SyntheticData #AI #Innovation #DataScience #Privacy https://levelact.com/how-synthetic-data-is-powering-the-next-wave-of-ai-and-innovation/

Apple is planning to improve its Genmoji models with user data and user devices (first by making synthetic data) and comparing the synthetic data to data generated by the model. Apple calls this approach “differential privacy". Users must have opted in to "Device Analytics" for their devices to be included.

Can anyone advise on something #ai ? We are looking for a way to generate synthetic image data from existing images, looking for - few tens of thousands of iterations. Any suggestions for a product / service or small model that might work? Thank you! #research #syntheticdata

"All students indicated that working with real data is more fun, challenging and concrete. It motivates them. Students who worked with fake data did not like this as much. In interviews they indicated that they prefer, for example, to work with cases from companies rather than cases invented by teachers."

Synthetic data generation with GPT-4o was a game changer for us. By creating datasets with common misspellings and syntactic variations, we were able to enhance the robustness of our search models significantly. This crucial step ensured that our AI models could handle a variety of real-world inputs seamlessly. #SyntheticData #Innovation
