Synner: Generating Realistic Synthetic Data

Published:31 May 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Synner allows users to generate realistic-looking data. With Synner users can visually and declaratively specify properties of the dataset they wish to generate. Such properties include the domain, and statistical distribution of each field, and relationships between fields. User can also sketch custom distributions and relationships. Synner provides instant feedback on every user interaction by visualizing a preview of the generated data. It also suggests generation specifications from a few user-provided examples of data to generate, column labels and other user interactions. In this demonstration, we showcase Synner and summarize results from our evaluation of Synner's effectiveness at generating realistic-looking data.
