Draft:Syntho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Syntho is a synthetic data generation company specializing in providing AI-generation solutions for privacy-preserving data synthesis and analytics..[1] With their product, Syntho Engine, they provide an optimized way to generate various data types including financial and healthcare-related information.[2] It can produce data in any language and alphabet, catering to customers in the EU, US, and Japan and is capable of generating datasets with multiple tables, with time-series and geographical data[2]. By starting with original data, their engine uses Artificial Intelligence technology to produce synthetic datasets that preserve the same relational and statistical properties as the original data[2]. Syntho does not handle sensitive data directly; instead, they provide a self-service platform that clients can deploy in their own secure environment to generate synthetic data independently[2]
