Summary

The ACE framework separates grounded accuracy, learner-relative complexity and behavioral diversity in generated agent experience.

The survey represents agent data as environment, task, interaction and optional verifier, then treats generation as constrained distribution design. Its synthesis finds a shift toward execution-grounded validity, difficulty calibrated to a declared learner and diversity beyond surface variation. This is a conceptual map of prior work, not a new empirical dataset.
