The Synthetic Data tab allows you to easily create and manage synthetic data, enhancing your datasets and improving model performance. Whether you need images, speech, or audio data, our new integrations make it simple and efficient.
There is also a video version of this guide Placeholder video TBD:
DALL-E Image Generation Block: Generate image datasets using Dall·E using the DALL-E model.
Whisper Keyword Spotting Generation Block: Generate keyword-spotting datasets using the Whisper model. Ideal for keyword spotting and speech recognition applications.
To use these features, navigate to Data Sources, add new data source transformation blocks, set up actions, run a pipeline, and then go to Data Acquisition to view the output. If you want to make changes or refine your prompts, you have to delete the pipeline and start over.
Enhance Your Datasets: Easily augment your datasets with high-quality synthetic data.
Improve Model Accuracy: Synthetic data can help fill gaps in your dataset, leading to better model performance.
Save Time and Resources: Quickly generate the data you need without the hassle of manual data collection.
Data ingestion will also include a flag in the header "synthetic": true, allowing users to pass an optional new header to indicate this is synthetic data. We've updated the Whisper and DALL-E blocks to accommodate this update.
To access the Synthetic Data tab, follow these steps:
Navigate to Your Project: Open your project in Edge Impulse Studio.
Open Synthetic Data Tab: Click on the "Synthetic Data" tab in the left-hand menu.
Create Realistic Images: Use DALL-E to generate realistic images for your datasets.
Customize Prompts: Tailor the prompts to generate specific types of images suited to your project needs.
Select Image Generation: Choose the GPT-4 (DALL-E) option.
Enter a Prompt: Describe the type of images you need (e.g., "A photo of a factory worker wearing a hard hat").
Generate and Save: Click "Generate" to create the images. Review and save the generated images to your dataset.
Human-like Speech Data: Utilize Whisper to generate human-like speech data.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for voice recognition, command-and-control systems, or any application requiring natural language processing.
Select Speech Generation: Choose the Whisper option.
Enter Text: Provide the text you want to be converted into speech (e.g., "Hello Edge!").
Generate and Save: Click "Generate" to create the speech data. Review and save the generated audio files.
