HSS-Synth: Humanities and Social Sciences Data Synthesis for LLMs

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.27379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-quality, diverse data are vital for large language models (LLMs) but remain scarce and costly. Data synthesis is a viable alternative and succeeds on closed tasks, yet the humanities and social sciences (HSS) are overlooked, and their open-ended nature makes synthesis challenging. Moving beyond prior capability-centric, fragmented attempts, we adopt a subject-centric paradigm, define the first HSS domain system covering 14 mainstream fields, and introduce HSS-Synth, the first data synthesis pipeline for HSS. HSS-Synth comprises: (1) constructing seed documents from web corpora via multi-step filtering and text refinement evaluated by a judge; (2) specifying "requirements + persona" to backtranslate seed documents into diverse yet faithfu
