A Synthetic Dataset is a machine-generated dataset composed of synthetic data records.
- AKA: Artificial Data.
- Context:
- It can be produced by a Synthetic Dataset Generator (solving a synthetic data generation task).
- It can represent some Random Experiment (that was designed to have certain characteristics.)
- ...
- Example(s):
- Counter-Example(s):
- any Real-World Dataset.
- See: Synthetic, Modified Dataset.
