This document discusses emerging technologies in synthetic representation and digital twins presented by Dr. Liming Zhu from CSIRO's Data61. It covers digital twins, synthetic representations, emerging technologies like federated learning and simulation, and examples of spatial digital twins in Australia. It emphasizes securely and privately connecting digital twins through techniques like federated analytics, sharing without access, desensitized and synthetic data. Future focus areas discussed include trusted data sharing, federated data and models, cross-domain security, and synthetic representation of supply chains.
