Position: LLM-Based Social Simulations Require a Boundary

ICML 2026poster

This position paper argues that **LLM-based social simulations require clear boundaries to make meaningful contributions to social science**. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising capabilities for simulating human behavior, their tendency to produce homogeneous outputs, acting as an "av…

The Hidden Strength of Disagreement: Unraveling the Consensus-Diversity Tradeoff in Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems

EMNLP 2025

Consensus formation is pivotal in multi-agent systems (MAS), balancing collective coherence with individual diversity. Conventional LLM-based MAS primarily rely on explicit coordination, e.g., prompts or voting, risking premature homogenization. We argue that implicit consensus, where agents exchang

Large Language Models as Urban Residents: An LLM Agent Framework for Personal Mobility Generation

NeurIPS 2024poster

This paper introduces a novel approach using Large Language Models (LLMs) integrated into an agent framework for flexible and effective personal mobility generation. LLMs overcome the limitations of previous models by effectively processing semantic data and offering versatility in modeling various…

Shall We Team Up: Exploring Spontaneous Cooperation of Competing LLM Agents

EMNLP 2024finding

Large Language Models (LLMs) have increasingly been utilized in social simulations, where they are often guided by carefully crafted instructions to stably exhibit human-like behaviors during simulations. Nevertheless, we doubt the necessity of shaping agents’ behaviors for accurate social simulatio…
