Core Innovation

This paper benchmarks two mixed training strategies that combine synthetic and real data to improve artificial neural network training. It systematically analyzes the effect of different synthetic-to-real data ratios across multiple architectures and datasets. This approach provides actionable insights to reduce the domain gap and enhance model robustness compared to using synthetic or real data alone.
