How to Use Synthetic Data for Improved Statistical Inference?

Edgar Dobriban (University of Pennsylvania - Wharton School)
E18-304

Abstract: The rapid proliferation of high-quality synthetic data -- generated by advanced AI models or collected as auxiliary data from related tasks -- presents both opportunities and challenges for statistical inference. Here, we introduce the GEneral Synthetic-Powered Inference (GESPI) framework that wraps around any statistical inference procedure to safely enhance sample efficiency by combining synthetic…

Formal Models of Language Generation

Jon Kleinberg (Cornell University)
E18-304

Abstract: The emergence of large language models has prompted a surge of interest into theoretical models that might give us insight into both their successes and their shortcomings. We'll give an overview of recent work in this direction, focusing on a surprising line of positive results that shows it is possible to give guarantees for…
