  "country": "US",
  "title": "How Cloud Systems Automatically Create and Train AI Data Models",
  "original_title": "Systems and methods for synthetic data generation",
  "summary": "A cloud-based system that generates fake, privacy-safe data to train AI models, ensuring they remain accurate while protecting sensitive personal information.",
  "what_it_does": "This patent describes a cloud system that automates the creation of AI models by using synthetic data—fake data that mimics the statistical properties of real, sensitive information. The system takes a reference dataset, turns categories into numbers, and uses a 'dataset generator' to create synthetic versions. During training, the system constantly compares the model's output to the original data, using a 'similarity metric' and a 'prediction metric' to ensure the model is both accurate and statistically similar to real-world patterns. If the model drifts too far from the desired accuracy or similarity, the system applies a penalty to a loss function, forcing the model to adjust itself until it meets specific quality criteria.",
  "what_it_does_not_cover": [
    "Does not cover the use of real, unmasked personal data for training purposes.",
    "Does not cover manual, non-automated methods of data labeling or model training.",
    "Does not cover hardware-specific AI acceleration (e.g., specific GPU architectures).",
    "Does not cover methods that do not involve a penalty-based loss function for synthetic data generation."

  "abstract": "A cloud computing system can be configured to generate data models. A model optimizer of the cloud computing system can provision computing resources of the cloud computing system with a data model. A dataset generator of the cloud computing system can generate a synthetic dataset for training the data model. The computing resources can train the data model using the synthetic dataset. The model optimizer can store the data model and metadata of the data model in a model storage. The cloud computing system can receive production data from a data source by a production instance of the cloud computing system using a common file system. The production data can be processed using the data model by the production instance. The computing resources, the dataset generator, and the model optimizer can be hosted by separate virtual computing instances of the cloud computing system.",
