Crafting Flight Simulations: The Art of Synthetic Data Generation
summary
Argues synthetic data reproduces production characteristics while avoiding privacy risk, demonstrating two concrete tools: a MostlyAI generator reporting 91.4% accuracy against a Netflix-style dataset and the open-source SDV workflow where a model fit runs in under one second and produces samples (demo used 500 rows, scalable to millions). Shows how engines preserve distributions and referential integrity, warns anonymization has residual risk, and illustrates iterative tuning of algorithms until metrics match.
