Interested in synthetic samples and how different production methods—like prompting—affect results? Then don’t miss Georg’s very interesting work at #ESRA!

LLMs are trained to produce open-ended responses 📝, but most survey items require closed-ended responses instead 📊 This Wed 11:00–12:30 at #ESRA25, I'll discuss the large impact that Answer Production Methods have on prediction results + share recommendations for methods and parameters. 👈

A research setup for the evaluation of Answer Production Methods for closed-ended survey responses from LLMs. An LLM is prompted with a survey and an optional instruction, before a Answer Production Method is applied. These methods range from token-probabilities to open-ended text generation + classification. I then evaluated them against human survey answers and calculate individual-level accuracy as well as distribution alignment for sub-populations.
