Synthetic data generation has recently emerged as a promising approach for enhancing the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) without the need for expensive human annotations. However, existing methods often generate data that can be low quality or contrived. In this paper, we introduce Source2Synth, a scalable approach for synthetic data generation and curation that is grounded in real-world data sources. Source2Synth takes as input a custom data source and produces synthetic data examples with intermediate reasoning steps. Our method improves the dataset quality by discarding low-quality generations based on their answerability. We demonstrate the generality of this approach by applying it to two tasks that leverage two different types of data: multi-hop question answering (MHQA), where we test complex reasoning abilities leveraging documents, and tabular question answering (TQA), where we test tool usage leveraging tables. Our method improves performance by 25.51% for TQA on WikiSQL and 22.57% for MHQA on HotpotQA compared to the fine-tuned baselines.

    cs.AI 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Masked diffusion language models, not larger autoregressive LLMs, are the better building block for text-based world models in agentic RL, improving rollout fidelity, diversity, and downstream task success.

  2. Autodata: An agentic data scientist to create high quality synthetic data

    cs.AI 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Autodata trains meta-optimized AI agents to generate superior synthetic datasets, yielding performance gains over classical methods on CS research, legal, and math reasoning tasks.

  3. Escaping Model Collapse via Synthetic Data Verification: Near-term Improvements and Long-term Convergence

    stat.ML 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Verifier-filtered synthetic retraining improves linear-regression estimates in the short term but converges to the verifier's knowledge center, so sustained improvement requires an unbiased verifier.
