Synthetic Data for Deep Learning begins by tracing the need for and development of synthetic data before delving into the role it plays in machine learning and computer vision. You'll gain insight into how synthetic data can be used to study the benefits of autonomous driving systems and to make accurate predictions about real-world data. You'll work through practical examples of synthetic data generation using Python and R, placing its purpose and methods in a real-world context. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are also covered in detail, explaining how they work and their potential applications.
After completing this book, you'll have the knowledge necessary to generate and use synthetic data to enhance your corporate, scientific, or governmental decision making.
