+**Synthetic data for a better understanding of Machine Learning models and algorithms**<br>
+Prof. Carlos Soares, University of Porto<br>
+Summary: Synthetic data generation has gained relevance recently, particularly to provide more data for learning models (e.g. with GANs). However, (semi-)synthetic data is also important for an even more important task, which is to improve our understanding of the behavior of ML models and algorithms. In this talk, I will discuss some of the work under development in this direction at the Center for Responsible AI in Porto.
