用生成式智能体模拟社会实验,让研究者化身其中观察互动。

Computational Multi-Agents Society Experiments: Social Modeling Framework Based on Generative Agents

  • 将研究者嵌入虚拟社会,实时参与并干预智能体行为。
  • 模拟结果既符合统计规律,又能解释行为机制。
  • 适合社会学、人机交互与复杂系统研究者使用。

本文提出CMASE框架,融合生成式智能体建模与虚拟民族志方法,支持研究者在虚拟社会环境中实现沉浸式参与、交互式干预与机制化分析。该框架将仿真环境转化为模拟的田野场域,使研究者从外部操作者转变为内部参与者。具体实现三大功能:(1) 实现人机实时交互,支持研究者动态嵌入系统以刻画复杂社会干预过程;(2) 结合计算实验的严谨性与传统民族志的解释深度,重构社会现象的生成逻辑;(3) 提供兼具因果解释力与预测能力的分析基础,可在保持经验准确性的同时进行前瞻性判断。实验表明,CMASE不仅能模拟复杂社会现象,还能生成符合统计模式与机制解释的行为轨迹。这些结果凸显其在干预建模中的方法论价值,有望推动社会科学跨学科融合。代码已开源:https://github.com/armihia/CMASE。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper introduces CMASE, a framework for Computational Multi-Agent Society Experiments that integrates generative agent-based modeling with virtual ethnographic methods to support researcher embedding, interactive participation, and mechanism-oriented intervention in virtual social environments. By transforming the simulation into a simulated ethnographic field, CMASE shifts the researcher from an external operator to an embedded participant. Specifically, the framework is designed to achieve three core capabilities: (1) enabling real-time human-computer interaction that allows researchers to dynamically embed themselves into the system to characterize complex social intervention processes; (2) reconstructing the generative logic of social phenomena by combining the rigor of computational experiments with the interpretative depth of traditional ethnography; and (3) providing a predictive foundation with causal explanatory power to make forward-looking judgments without sacrificing empirical accuracy. Experimental results show that CMASE can not only simulate complex phenomena, but also generate behavior trajectories consistent with both statistical patterns and mechanistic explanations. These findings demonstrate CMASE's methodological value for intervention modeling, highlighting its potential to advance interdisciplinary integration in the social sciences.
