Label Your Data

I’m honored to have my insights on synthetic data validation for Large Language Models (LLMs) featured in Label Your Data’s latest article from Featured. Now that many companies build specific models (e.g., Llama 3.1 405B) to facilitate synthesis dataset generation, integrating human expertise into the LLM development process is important. Human-in-the-loop (HITL) approaches ensure that domain experts guide and refine model outputs, leading to more accurate and contextually relevant results. As a GenAI researcher, I believe the concern of running of training data for future LLMs development in the future, raised by experts in the field like Chip Huyen, is valid and deserve significant awareness. The expert-informed data synthesis validation helps mitigate biases and enhances the model’s ability to handle complex, nuanced scenarios, for example thinking about if a biotech company needs to generate synthesis customer reviews for a niche healthcare product not lanuched yet or a forensic psychiatry research group aims to generate crime vignettes to assess the public’s perception of crime types and punishment relevant to demographic groups. Thank you again to the Label Your Data team for highlighting this important aspect of AI development. #AI #GenAI #SyntheticData #LLM #DataValidation #HITL #ResponsibleAI
