Gretel (also known as Gretel Labs or Gretel AI) is a software startup focused around creating high quality and private Synthetic data. Its primary focus is on generating textual, JSON or tabular data. It accomplishes this using a mix of privacy preservation tools (transformations, differential privacy) in concert with data generation tools (Large language models, and custom Fine-tuning (deep learning)).

Gretel's quality enforcement is accomplished by performing quality checks during data generation, thereby reducing the amount of low quality data in the final dataset.

This type of enforcement can also apply to privacy concerns, by using privacy filters or introducing appropriate levels of noise during data generation.

Gretel's Open Source Datasets

edit

Gretel has released a set of open source datasets (licensed under Apache 2.0) on Hugging Face.[3]

These datasets reflect what can be created using Gretel itself, as well as to allow for use in training models, creating tools, or building other sorts of tools.

Gretel in Research

edit

Gretel's synthetics offering and platform have been referenced in a few research/comparison articles. Examples include:

  • Comparison of Synthetic Data Generation Tools Using Internet of Things Data[4]
  • Gretel.ai: Open-Source Artificial Intelligence Tool To Generate New Synthetic Data[5]
  • Experiments in Reducing NLP Bias and Identifiability for Large LMs[6]
