生成深度虚构人格,让AI更像真实人类。
DeepPersona: A Generative Engine for Scaling Deep Synthetic Personas
- 构建超大规模人类属性体系,基于真实对话数据
- 生成平均含数百属性、约1MB叙述文本的深层人格
- 显著提升人格多样性和真实性,适合人机交互研究
通过将人格注入大语言模型(LLMs),模拟人类画像正快速改变智能体行为仿真、LLM个性化及人机对齐研究。然而,现有合成人格普遍浅显,难以体现真实人类身份的丰富性与多样性。本文提出DEEPPERSONA,一种可扩展的生成引擎,通过两阶段、分类引导的方法合成叙事完整的合成人格。首先,基于数千条真实用户-ChatGPT对话,算法构建迄今为止最大的人类属性分类体系,包含数百个分层组织的属性;其次,从该分类体系中逐步采样属性,条件生成连贯且真实的合成人格,平均包含数百个结构化属性和约1MB的叙事文本,深度达先前工作的两个数量级。内在评估显示,属性覆盖率提升32%,人格独特性提高44%。外在评估表明,其显著提升GPT-4.1-mini在十个指标上个性化问答准确率11.6%,并使模拟的LLM公民与真实人类在社会调查中的差距缩小31.7%。生成的国家公民在大五人格测试上的表现差距缩小17%。DEEPPERSONA提供了一种严谨、可扩展且无隐私风险的高保真人类仿真与个性化AI研究平台。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Simulating human profiles by instilling personas into large language models (LLMs) is rapidly transforming research in agentic behavioral simulation, LLM personalization, and human-AI alignment. However, most existing synthetic personas remain shallow and simplistic, capturing minimal attributes and failing to reflect the rich complexity and diversity of real human identities. We introduce DEEPPERSONA, a scalable generative engine for synthesizing narrative-complete synthetic personas through a two-stage, taxonomy-guided method. First, we algorithmically construct the largest-ever human-attribute taxonomy, comprising over hundreds of hierarchically organized attributes, by mining thousands of real user-ChatGPT conversations. Second, we progressively sample attributes from this taxonomy, conditionally generating coherent and realistic personas that average hundreds of structured attributes and roughly 1 MB of narrative text, two orders of magnitude deeper than prior works. Intrinsic evaluations confirm significant improvements in attribute diversity (32 percent higher coverage) and profile uniqueness (44 percent greater) compared to state-of-the-art baselines. Extrinsically, our personas enhance GPT-4.1-mini's personalized question answering accuracy by 11.6 percent on average across ten metrics and substantially narrow (by 31.7 percent) the gap between simulated LLM citizens and authentic human responses in social surveys. Our generated national citizens reduced the performance gap on the Big Five personality test by 17 percent relative to LLM-simulated citizens. DEEPPERSONA thus provides a rigorous, scalable, and privacy-free platform for high-fidelity human simulation and personalized AI research.
