Synthetic Dataset

Synthetic Dataset is a set of data that is made by computers instead of being collected from real-world situations, and in generative design, these datasets help designers test and train design algorithms quickly. Designers use synthetic datasets to create many different design options by changing shapes, colors, or layouts in a controlled way. This helps find new design solutions without needing to gather lots of real examples, which can take a long time. In generative design, synthetic datasets can include things like digital floor plans, 3D models, or color schemes that are made to help computers learn what works well in design. This method gives designers more freedom to explore creative ideas and test how design rules work in many different situations.
