CASTLE generates synthetic queries and topical listing labels for a natural-language search mode without its own query history. It combines survey seeds with contrasting listings from booking sessions, prompting an LLM to distinguish each pair in a query. Survey-seed CASTLE’s query-length KL divergence is 1.01, versus 9.33 for Promptagator; CASTLE-R, using real-query seeds, scores lower at 0.75.
