Learning a Size-Weight Frontier for Synthetic-Augmented Inference
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →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.
