pysyte

Pysyte is an open-source Python library designed to facilitate the creation and management of synthetic datasets for machine learning applications. It provides tools to generate realistic synthetic data that mimics the statistical properties of real-world datasets, enabling researchers and developers to address privacy concerns, augment small datasets, and test models without relying on sensitive or proprietary data.

The library supports various data types, including numerical, categorical, and text data, and offers methods to define complex relationships and distributions within synthetic datasets. Users can specify constraints such as conditional dependencies, correlations, or temporal patterns to ensure the generated data remains meaningful for downstream tasks like training machine learning models or conducting simulations. Pysyte is particularly useful in scenarios where real data is scarce, expensive to obtain, or subject to ethical restrictions.

Developed with extensibility in mind, Pysyte allows customization through modular components, enabling users to implement domain-specific rules or integrate with existing data generation pipelines. The library is built on Python, leveraging popular data science libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn, making it accessible to developers familiar with these tools. It also includes utilities for evaluating the quality of synthetic data, such as statistical tests and visual comparisons against real datasets.

Pysyte is licensed under an open-source license, promoting collaboration and community contributions. While primarily aimed at researchers and data scientists, its simplicity and flexibility make it suitable for educational purposes as well. By reducing the dependency on real-world data, Pysyte contributes to ethical data practices and supports innovation in machine learning research.
