构建可动态演化的大规模社交网络模拟器,精准还原用户角色切换与关系变化。
DynamiX: Large-Scale Dynamic Social Network Simulator
- 引入动态层级模块,按时间步筛选核心用户并匹配真实角色转换。
- 针对意见领袖与普通用户设计差异化关系建模策略,提升行为真实性。
- 支持态度演化与集体行为分析,适用于社交平台治理与影响力研究。
理解社交平台内在机制对维护社会稳定至关重要。大语言模型为模拟用户态度动态和再现集体行为提供了新可能。然而,现有研究多聚焦于代理规模扩展,忽视了社交关系的动态演变。为此,我们提出DynamiX——一个专用于动态社交网络建模的大规模仿真系统。该系统采用动态层级模块,在每一步时间中选择具有关键特征的核心用户,实现对真实世界用户角色自适应切换的精准拟合。同时,针对不同用户类型设计差异化的动态关系建模策略:对意见领袖,提出基于信息流的链接预测方法,推荐观点相似潜在用户,模拟同质连接与自主决策;对普通用户,构建以不平等为导向的行为决策模块,有效捕捉多维因素驱动的关系调整模式。实验表明,与静态网络相比,DynamiX在态度演化模拟与集体行为分析上均有显著提升。此外,该模型为粉丝增长预测提供全新理论视角,为意见领袖培养提供实证依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding the intrinsic mechanisms of social platforms is an urgent demand to maintain social stability. The rise of large language models provides significant potential for social network simulations to capture attitude dynamics and reproduce collective behaviors. However, existing studies mainly focus on scaling up agent populations, neglecting the dynamic evolution of social relationships. To address this gap, we introduce DynamiX, a novel large-scale social network simulator dedicated to dynamic social network modeling. DynamiX uses a dynamic hierarchy module for selecting core agents with key characteristics at each timestep, enabling accurate alignment of real-world adaptive switching of user roles. Furthermore, we design distinct dynamic social relationship modeling strategies for different user types. For opinion leaders, we propose an information-stream-based link prediction method recommending potential users with similar stances, simulating homogeneous connections, and autonomous behavior decisions. For ordinary users, we construct an inequality-oriented behavior decision-making module, effectively addressing unequal social interactions and capturing the patterns of relationship adjustments driven by multi-dimensional factors. Experimental results demonstrate that DynamiX exhibits marked improvements in attitude evolution simulation and collective behavior analysis compared to static networks. Besides, DynamiX opens a new theoretical perspective on follower growth prediction, providing empirical evidence for opinion leaders cultivation.
