在社会科学中，研究人员常因仿真复杂性和技术门槛难以开展大规模实验。基于代理的建模（ABM）通过模拟个体行为及其互动来评估系统性影响，但传统实现方式耗时且复杂。生成式代理建模（GABM）利用AI驱动的代理，根据底层规则与交互自动生成复杂行为，显著降低建模难度。本文提出一套基于Google DeepMind Concordia框架的可靠实验设计方法，涵盖工具选择、模型构建、实验协议制定与结果验证的完整流程，使跨学科研究者能更便捷地开展高质量仿真研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In social sciences, researchers often face challenges when conducting large-scale experiments, particularly due to the simulations' complexity and the lack of technical expertise required to develop such frameworks. Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) is a computational approach that simulates agents' actions and interactions to evaluate how their behaviors influence the outcomes. However, the traditional implementation of ABM can be demanding and complex. Generative Agent-Based Modeling (GABM) offers a solution by enabling scholars to create simulations where AI-driven agents can generate complex behaviors based on underlying rules and interactions. This paper introduces a framework for designing reliable experiments using GABM, making sophisticated simulation techniques more accessible to researchers across various fields. We provide a step-by-step guide for selecting appropriate tools, designing the model, establishing experimentation protocols, and validating results.
