首个支持多语言交互的智能体社会模拟框架,用于研究跨文化社会行为。

Multilingual Agent-Based World Modeling for Social Science

  • 构建多语言智能体社会模型,支持不同语言背景角色的多轮对话。
  • 在跨文化融合与规范传播案例中,母语模拟更贴近真实调查数据。
  • 适用于计算社会科学、跨文化传播研究,提供可解释的仿真工具。

多智能体角色扮演近年来在语言智能体中展现出研究社会行为的潜力,但现有模拟大多为单语种,缺乏跨语言互动——而这正是真实社会的核心特征。我们提出MAWM,首个支持具有多样化社会语言特征的生成式智能体之间多轮多语言交互的多语言智能体世界建模框架。该框架支持两种分析模式:(i) 全球公众意见建模,追踪跨语言和文化对开放领域问卷的态度演变;(ii) 媒体影响与信息扩散,通过自主新闻智能体动态生成内容并影响用户行为。为使模拟贴近真实人口分布,我们构建了MAPS基准,整合来自全球人口分布的调查问题与人物档案。在模拟一致性测试及社会科学研究案例(如文化同化与规范扩散)中,母语模拟比仅用英语的模拟更接近真实调查数据,且MAWM中的智能体社会重现了已知的社会文化现象,凸显了多语言模拟作为计算社会科学中可解释替代工具的价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-agent role-playing has recently shown promise for studying social behavior with language agents, but existing simulations are mostly monolingual without cross-lingual interaction, an essential property of real societies. We introduce MAWM, the first Multilingual Agent-based World Modeling framework that supports multi-turn multilingual interactions among generative agents with diverse sociolinguistic profiles. MAWM enables two modes of analysis: (i) global public opinion modeling, which tracks how attitudes toward open-domain survey questions evolve across languages and cultures, and (ii) media influence and information diffusion, via autonomous news agents that dynamically generate content and shape user behavior. To ground the simulation in realistic population distributions, we construct the MAPS benchmark, which combines survey questions and demographic personas drawn from global population distributions. Experiments on simulation alignment, along with social science case studies on cultural assimilation and normative diffusion, show that native-language simulation better reflects real survey data than English-only simulation, and that the agent society in MAWM reproduces established sociocultural phenomena and highlights the value of multilingual simulation as an alternative interpretable tool for computational social science.
