arXiv:2509. 20345v3 Announce Type: replace-cross 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.

The paper introduces a framework for synthetic‑augmented inference that balances the number of synthetic observations with their assigned weight. It defines a size‑weight frontier, estimating for each weight the maximum synthetic sample size that still guarantees target task‑marginal coverage for all smaller sizes. The authors provide finite‑sample coverage guarantees for configurations on or below this frontier and demonstrate that, when applied to augment opinion survey data with large language model responses, the method achieves the desired coverage while significantly tightening confidence intervals.

The paper investigates how synthetic data generated by large language models (LLMs) can be characterized using sample-level learnability derived from encoder training dynamics. It compares different LLM families and scales across tasks such as single- and multi-label classification, labeling, and tree prediction, and contrasts these synthetic datasets with human-written data. The study also examines the robustness of learned data distributions across encoders and evaluates how data selection strategies based on learnability signals impact the performance of both synthetic and organic data.

GENSCRIPT is an inference‑only pipeline that generates synthetic data without training a generative model. It creates a deterministic statistical profile of the source data, uses a language model to infer field semantics and cross‑column constraints, and then compiles these into an executable sampler that works for single‑table, temporal, and relational data. The method builds generators in minutes, samples large datasets quickly, and achieves fidelity comparable to leading methods while preserving key data relationships such as 1‑to‑1 mappings and primary‑foreign key constraints.
