LLM-Enhanced Bayesian Network Improves Travel Survey Data Generation

Researchers have developed LEBGen, a novel framework that enhances Bayesian networks with large language models (LLMs) to improve the generation of travel survey data from limited samples. This approach leverages LLM-generated behavioral knowledge to refine the Bayesian network structure, addressing limitations in capturing complex dependencies found in sparse datasets. In experiments using a 2% few-shot sample from the Hong Kong Travel Characteristics Survey, LEBGen significantly reduced distributional and dependency errors compared to existing methods. AI

IMPACT This framework could enable more efficient and accurate travel behavior analysis by improving synthetic data generation from limited survey samples.

    LEBGen: An LLM-Enhanced Bayesian Network Framework for Few-Shot Travel Survey Data Generation

    arXiv:2609.08288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Travel survey data are essential for transportation planning and travel behavior analysis, yet collecting large-scale representative samples is costly and time-consuming. A practical alternative is to generate synthetic survey recor…
