“YData helps us reduce development time and delivery of our data solutions, even with a small team. Using their platform, preparing training datasets is easy, straightforward, and with a great user experience!”
João Reis, VP of Data at Lovys
“The problem YData is solving is foundational and core to machine learning. It is known that the quality of data is the most important asset for an AI solution and ensuring it is something really hard and expensive.”
Paul Horn, ex-SVP & Director of Research at IBM, Distinguished Scientist at NYU
“YData brings a data-centric approach to the innovative field of MLOps.”
Demetrios Brinkman, Founder at MLOps.community
“YData allowed us to create personalized products leveraging machine learning with customers’ data while complying with their privacy.”
Filipe Ribeiro, CEO at Ciclo Mobility
“Without YData’s Platform, we couldn’t create an end-to-end machine learning product with our team size. By using their platform, we could focus on building the models while they took care of everything else.”

Frequently asked questions
How does YData ensure quality in the synthetic generated data?
YData has an automated quality and privacy control process for every dataset generated with the goal to control the quality, utility, and privacy of the newly generated data.
For the quality, we use divergence metrics, correlation measures, and non-parametric tests, for the utility we apply the TSTR (Train Synthetic Test Real) methodology. In what concerns measuring privacy leakage, we perform various tests, such as inference attacks.
How YData ensures synthetic data is compliant with privacy regulations?
YData has a strong foundation in the literature that supports the solution in regard to privacy safety. There is no privacy certification nor known process to date that certificates a solution that's compliant with privacy regulation and, compared to traditional anonymization tools, which also do not have any form of certification, synthetic data copes with the GDPR and other privacy regulations in the sense that this data is generated having random noise as input, being impossible to trace a synthetic record back to a record in the original data - the same way as GDPR defines to be privacy by design.
How does YData ensure the data never leaves your infrastructure?
YData's platform is deployed on your infrastructure (either cloud or on-premises), ensuring that there's never a data transfer between your company and YData.
Is synthetic data safe to share or sell?
Yes. It is not proprietary and does not contain PII (Personally identifiable information), plus YData generates an automated and detailed report regarding the quality of the generated data as well as the privacy level of the newly generated dataset.
What if I want to know which record a synthetic one refers to? Can I trace it back to the original one?
You can't. If you want to perform operational activities, business as usual, and single record operations, you'll need real data. In general, to be able to trace back to an original record goes against the concept of privacy by design, foundational to synthetic data.
How different is synthetic data compared with other PET (Privacy Enhancing Technologies)?
There is some trending PET besides Synthetic Data, such as Differential Privacy, Federated Learning, and Homomorphic Encryption, and each of them was created for different purposes. Differential privacy will be the best option for private analytics over a big dataset. Why? It works really well for big data and has low computational expenditure.
On the other hand, although synthetic data needs high graphic computational power, it is a method that provides the same granular format of data to data scientists, and solves problems like data augmentation and balancing, so common in data science projects. Moreover, synthetic data can be combined with differential privacy.
Do you transform the data? Preprocessing, cleaning, or other?
Data synthesization is the process of generating new data, not transforming the existing one. However, before YData generates new data, there's a preprocess of the original data in order to create new data with higher quality. However, the newly generated data is not a transformation of the real dataset, nor its records are traceable.
How does YData deal with BIAS in the data?
This is a very controversial question because bias can happen at several different levels, meaning it can happen at the level of the data collection, the data processing, or during the process of building a model. In the first case, the data itself is collected in a biased manner, for example, a class of certain types of events is not collected on purpose, in this case, it's very hard to solve the problem unless the collection process is changed.
The other two are the ones that can be fixed or influence the analysis. If the original data already contains any type of bias, that means that the synthetic data will contain that same bias, but not create it or make it worse. Nevertheless, it is possible to fix bias through the process of synthesizing data, when domain knowledge is available.
