Synthetic data is essential for business due to privacy concerns and limitations of public sources, such as restrictions on use or a lack of information about how the data was obtained, as well as the distribution of the samples. Synthetic data is generated, so it doesn’t contain any private data, and it can have the same distribution as the original data or even address imbalanced data. The potential of synthetic data for industries where getting data can be tough, or to create environments controlled for edge cases or uncommon ones to improve the models. The industry of the future relies on data, to train models and AI Applications. A data-centric approach can improve accuracy with less data.
→ We encourage contestants to come up with any innovations to apply synthetic data in different sectors where getting real datasets is difficult.
