Dr. Ranjith Gopalan, Ganesh Kumar Sivasubramanian · INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT · 2024
The increasing reliance on machine learning has led to a pressing need for diverse and representative training data. However, acquiring real-world data can be challenging due to privacy concerns, data scarcity, and the excessive cost of data collection. Synthetic data generation has emerged as a promising solution, offering opportunities to safeguard privacy, increase data availability, and reduce bias in machine learning models. This research paper presents a comprehensive exploration of synthetic data generation techniques, highlighting their advantages, challenges, and implications for sustainable development. To address this challenge, the research presented here explores expanding a deep learning framework that employs Variational Autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks to create customizable synthetic data. The proposed Variational Autoencoders framework is designed to digitally generate data as needed, conforming to user- defined specifications. This approach, with its wide-ranging and generalized capabilities, addresses the gap in customized, synthetic data generation, where previous efforts were limited to specific domains. Paper also talks about Evaluating Synthetic Data Quality, Ethical Considerations and Challenges, Future Trends in Synthetic Data Generation.
