Google Research: ConvApparel dataset measures the 'realism gap' between AI user simulators and real people

Google Research has released ConvApparel — a new dataset of over 4,000 multi-turn conversations in an apparel shopping context, designed to measure how realistic LLM-based user simulators really are. The study shows that SFT and ICL approaches significantly outperform simple prompting and demonstrate 'remarkable out-of-distribution generalization'.
