# Welcome to the SDV!

The **Synthetic Data Vault** (SDV) is a Python library designed to be your one-stop shop for creating tabular synthetic data.

## Key Features

:brain: **Train your own generative AI model.** Choose from a variety of AI algorithms designed for tabular data — single table, sequential, or multi-table (relational) data. Train your own synthesizer using your real data, and create any amount of synthetic data on-demand. SDV is designed to work on-prem, with standard CPUs.

:bar\_chart: **Evaluate & visualize synthetic data.** Measure the statistical quality of your synthetic data and diagnose problems. For even more insight, create visualizations that compare your synthetic data with your real data.

:gear: **Customize your synthesizer.** The SDV platform offers powerful features for creating higher quality synthetic data. You can add constraints, adjust the data preprocessing, and selecting anonymization options for any SDV synthesizer.

## Owned & Maintained by DataCebo

The SDV library is a part of the greater [Synthetic Data Vault Project](https://sdv.dev/), first created at MIT's Data to AI Lab in 2016. After 4 years of research and traction with enterprise, we created DataCebo in 2020 with the goal of growing the project.

Today, [DataCebo](https://datacebo.com/) is the proud developer of the SDV, the largest ecosystem for synthetic data generation & evaluation.
