Rule-adhering synthetic data -- the lingua franca of learning (2209.06679v1)

Abstract: AI-generated synthetic data allows to distill the general patterns of existing data, that can then be shared safely as granular-level representative, yet novel data samples within the original semantics. In this work we explore approaches of incorporating domain expertise into the data synthesis, to have the statistical properties as well as pre-existing domain knowledge of rules be represented. The resulting synthetic data generator, that can be probed for any number of new samples, can then serve as a common source of intelligence, as a lingua franca of learning, consumable by humans and machines alike. We demonstrate the concept for a publicly available data set, and evaluate its benefits via descriptive analysis as well as a downstream ML model.
