• Abstract: Data generation-based zero-shot learning, although effective in training Small Task-specific Models (STMs) via synthetic datasets generated by Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs), is often limited by the low quality of such synthetic datasets. Previous solutions have primarily focused on single PLM settings, where synthetic datasets are typically restricted to specific sub-spaces and often deviate from real-world distributions, leading to severe distribution bias. To mitigate such bias, we propose FuseGen, a novel data generation-based zero-shot learning framework that introduces a new criteria for subset selection from synthetic datasets via utilizing multiple PLMs and trained STMs. The chosen subset provides in-context feedback to each PLM, enhancing dataset quality through iterative data generation. Trained STMs are then used for sample re-weighting as well, further improving data quality. Extensive experiments across diverse tasks demonstrate that FuseGen substantially outperforms existing methods, highly effective in boosting STM performance in a PLM-agnostic way.

  Tabular data synthesis is crucial in machine learning, yet existing general methods are highly data-dependent and often fall short in recommender systems. This limitation arises from their difficulty in capturing complex distributions and understanding feature relationships from sparse and limited data. We propose a novel two-stage framework named SampleLLM to improve the quality of LLM-based data synthesis for recommendation tasks.

  Large language models (LLM) have been used for diverse tasks, but do not capture the correct correlation between the features and the target variable. We propose a LLM-based method with three important improvements to correctly capture the ground-truth feature-class correlation in the real data. Our experiments show that our method significantly outperforms 10 SOTA baselines on 20 datasets in downstream tasks.

  We find that model performance is negatively correlated to the compression ratio of training data, which usually yields a lower training loss. Based on the findings of the entropy law, we propose a quite efficient and universal data selection method. We also present an interesting application of entropy law that can detect potential performance risks at the beginning of model training.

This approach can ensure that the generated data is not only relevant but also more diverse than what could be achieved using the limited seed data alone.
