Context
Due to privacy concerns, it is difficult to gather data. Thus, some researchers suggest that a synthetic dataset can be generated using a realworld dataset. In this project, we aim to generate synthetic data using the Breadcrumbs dataset.
Objective
This project consists of three steps:
- Implementation (or adaptation) of the synthetic data generation code proposed by Kulkarni et al. [3].
- Evaluation of the synthetic data generation using the Breadcrumbs dataset.
- Improvements to the synthetic data generation code.
This subject is ONLY a Semester Project, and it is a guided project.
If you want to learn more about the Breadcrumbs Dataset, we suggest you read the Breadcrumbs Paper [1] and Breadcrumbs Dataset Description [2].
Prerequisites
Students must be confident with their algorithms and machine learning. Preferred programming languages are Java and Python.
