Synthetic Data

Definitions

1. Artificially generated data that mimics the statistical properties of real data, used when real data is scarce, expensive, or privacy-sensitive. The model trains on data that never existed — like learning to drive in a simulator.

   In plain English: Fake data created by computers that looks and behaves like real data, used to train AI when real data is hard to get or raises privacy concerns.
