Design a Synthetic Data Generation & Curation Agent

Design a pipeline that generates and curates synthetic data for fine-tuning or evaluation, and proves it helps on real held-out data.

Key Requirements

  • Control coverage across tasks, personas and difficulty, seeded from real data
  • Verify correctness with a signal independent of the generator
  • Remove duplicates and near-duplicates, and any overlap with eval sets
  • Prove value on a held-out real eval before any set ships
  • Avoid model collapse: keep real data and track each row's lineage

Interviewer Follow-ups

  • Q1How do you prevent model collapse from training on synthetic data?
  • Q2How do you validate that generated examples are realistic?
  • Q3How do you ensure diversity across edge cases?
