• Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have become increasingly integral to enhancing developer productivity, particularly in code generation, comprehension, and repair tasks. However, fine-tuning these models with high-quality, real-world data is challenging due to privacy concerns and the lack of accessible, labeled datasets. In this paper, we present DialogAgent, an automated tool for generating synthetic training data that closely mimics real developer interactions within Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). DialogAgent enables the production of diverse, high-fidelity query-response pairs by simulating multi-turn dialogues and contextual behaviors observed in real-world programming scenarios. The tool significantly reduces the reliance on manual data generation, increasing efficiency by 4.8 times compared to traditional methods. Our experiments and online deployment demonstrate substantial improvements in model performance for code-related question-answering tasks: the acceptance rate of responses generated by our in-house model is improved by 33%, after training on synthesized data generated by DialogAgent.

  Long language models (LLMs) with extended context windows have significantly improved tasks such as information extraction, question answering, and complex planning scenarios. Existing methods typically utilize the Self-Instruct framework to generate instruction tuning data for better long context capability improvement. We propose the Multi-agent Interactive Multi-hop Generation framework, incorporating a Quality Verification Agent, a Single-hop Question Generation Agent, a Multiple Question Sampling Strategy, and a Multi-hop Question Merger Agent. Our findings show that our synthetic high-quality long-context instruction data significantly enhances model performance, even surpassing models trained on larger amounts of human
