This post presents the different synthetic data types that currently exist: text, media (video, image, sound), and tabular synthetic data.

If your are evaluating privacy-preserving synthetic data, three questions are usually important:

• Does it solve my problem?
• Does the technology fit my requirements?
• What’s the Return on Investment (ROI) of implementing privacy-preserving synthetic data?

We already addressed the problem and application question in this story. This one focuses on the last item: what’s the added-value of synthetic data?

The costs of data inertia and insufficient privacy-preservation mechanisms

Data is critical to the operations of data-driven companies. Forrester reported insights-driven businesses growing at an average of more than 30% annually. However, there are a few obstacles in the way of “the data-driven enterprise”, especially when it comes to personal data…

Our team recently held a webinar on synthetic data in the financial industry. We discussed how synthetic data could actually represent an opportunity to tackle internal data restrictions and general slowness. We got interesting questions from the audience that we answer in this article:

• How long would it take to create synthetic data, for a dataset of one million customer data records, for example?
• From the perspective of complying with the GDPR, which tests do a data officer must do before releasing a synthetic dataset?
• When generating synthetic data, how can we keep the statistical characteristics present in the original…
