dc.description.abstract
The generation of high-fidelity synthetic data is a cornerstone of modern machine learning, yet Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently suffer from hallucinations, logical inconsistencies, and mode collapse when tasked with structured generation. Existing approaches, such s prompting or retrieval-augmented generaon, lack the mechanisms to balance linguistic expressivity with formal guarantees regarding validity and coverage. To address this, we propose CircuitSynth, a novel neuro-symbolic framework that decouples semantic reasoning from surface realization. By distilling the reasoning capabilities of a Teacher LLM into a Probabilistic Sentential Decision Diagram (PSDD), CircuitSynth creates a tractable semantic prior that structurally enforces hard logical constraints. Furthermore, we introduce a convex optimization mechanism to rigorously satisfy soft distributional goals. Empirical evaluations across diverse benchmarks demonstrate that CircuitSynth achieves 100% Schema Validity even in complex logic puzzles where unconstrained baselines fail (12.4%) while significantly outperforming state-of-the-art methods in rare-combination coverage.
