• Abstract: Digital footprints (records of individuals' interactions with digital systems) are essential for studying behavior, developing personalized applications, and training machine learning models. However, research in this area is often hindered by the scarcity of diverse and accessible data. To address this limitation, we propose a novel method for synthesizing realistic digital footprints using large language model (LLM) agents. Starting from a structured user profile, our approach generates diverse and plausible sequences of user events, ultimately producing corresponding digital artifacts such as emails, messages, calendar entries, reminders, etc. Intrinsic evaluation results demonstrate that the generated dataset is more diverse and realistic than existing baselines. Moreover, models fine-tuned on our synthetic data outperform those trained on other synthetic datasets when evaluated on real-world out-of-distribution tasks.

  Pretrained models of code have become popular choices for code understanding and generation tasks. Such models tend to be large and require commensurate volumes of training data. It has become popular to train models with far larger but less realistic datasets, such as functions with artificially injected bugs. Models trained on such data tend to only perform well on similar data, while underperforming on real world programs.
