Edge Impulse Unveils Ability to Create Synthetic Data for the Edge Using Leading Generative AI Tools
28 June 2024 - 11:00PM
Business Wire
Edge Impulse, the leading platform for building, refining and
deploying machine learning models to edge devices, has launched new
capabilities that leverage generative AI to create and manage
synthetic data on the edge, from images, to speech, to audio
data.

The Synthetic Data integration offers a new and efficient way to
use Edge Impulse for LLM-based data creation, enabling DALL-E for
image generation, Whisper for creating speech elements for keyword
spotting and ElevenLabs for audible events. Enterprise customers
also have the option to add custom LLM sources such as other data
providers or self-hosted LLMs. Other LLM toolkits will be added in
the coming months. These new features are in addition to Edge
Impulse's existing direct integration with NVIDIA Omniverse
Replicator, a framework for developing custom synthetic data
generation pipelines to generate highly realistic, physically based
datasets tailored to train computer vision models.
Within the new Synthetic Data integration, the user can add and
refine their prompts quickly and efficiently. The output, including
images and audio fragments, are then displayed, allowing users to
quickly evaluate and refine their prompts until they get the
desired data set:
- DALL-E Image Generation Block: Generate image datasets
with DALL-E using the DALL-E model.
- Whisper Keyword Spotting Generation Block: Generate
keyword-spotting datasets using the Whisper model. Ideal for
keyword spotting and speech recognition applications.
- ElevenLabs Synthetic Audio Block: Generate audible
events - like glass breaking, or alarm sounds - using the
ElevenLabs Sound Effects model.
- Custom LLM Sources: Connect to other LLM data providers
or self-hosted LLMs using transformation blocks, including Edge
Impulse's existing integration with GPT-4o for labeling image
data.
This iterative workflow will make it easier to determine the
right prompts for generating data. Additionally, any data that is
not deleted will automatically be added to the project, ensuring
seamless data management.
This new toolset greatly streamlines the process of generating
and refining prompts to create the desired data set. It provides an
efficient workflow for building models using synthetic data and
makes it easier for developers to create high-quality data sets by
leveraging generative AI.
Available today for Enterprise-tier users, with availability
coming soon for Professional Plan users, this new feature is
located as a top tab in the “data acquisition” section of Edge
Impulse, alongside Dataset, Data explorer, and Data sources
options. Learn more in Edge Impulse’s documentation about the
Synthetic data integration and how to generate audio event
datasets. Video tutorials are also available showcasing how to use
Generative AI to synthetically create audio datasets using
ElevenLabs.io, auto-labeling satellite imagery with ChatGPT-4o, and
labeling image data using GPT-4o.
