Episode notes
Synthetic Data Generation
- Synthetic data mimics real data and is generated by LLMs.
- The Synthetic Data Generator, a UI built on DissiLabel, simplifies this process.
DistillLabel's Function
- DistillLabel combines synthetic data generation with a human feedback loop.
- This iterative process, using LLMs and APIs, improves data quality.
Synthetic Data Algorithms
- Generating synthetic data involves various methods like data augmentation and distillation.
- These include prompting models for completions and refining instructions based on evaluations.
