When synthetic examples start to help

Question: What condition must synthetic data satisfy before it can substantially improve training, and what benefit does meeting that condition provide?

Sample answer: The synthetic data has to be realistic enough to resemble the true data distribution. If it is close enough, the main benefit is that the team can effectively train on a much larger dataset.

Key points:

  • Synthetic data must be close to the real distribution.
  • The payoff is access to a much larger training set.

Rubric: Full credit requires stating that the synthetic data should match or closely approximate the real distribution and that this makes a much larger training set available.
