SynthBio: A Case Study in Human-AI Collaborative Curation of Text Datasets. (arXiv:2111.06467v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)

NLP researchers need more, higher-quality text datasets. Human-labeled
datasets are expensive to collect, while datasets collected via automatic
retrieval from the web such as WikiBio are noisy and can include undesired
biases. Moreover, data sourced from the web is often included in datasets used
to pretrain models, leading to inadvertent cross-contamination of training and
test sets. In this work we introduce a novel method for efficient dataset
curation: we use a large language model to provide seed generations to human …
