用人物画像控制生成人口数据,让模拟更符合真实行为模式。
SemaPop: Semantic-Persona Conditioned and Controllable Population Synthesis
- 用大模型从问卷提取人物特征,转为语义嵌入作为生成条件。
- 生成结果在统计分布和个体多样性上均优于传统方法。
- 适合交通规划、政策模拟等需要可控场景的领域使用。
人口合成对交通规划与社会经济分析中的个体级仿真至关重要,但因需同时捕捉统计依赖关系与高层行为语义而具挑战性。现有数据驱动方法多依赖无条件生成,难以支持情景驱动或目标导向的合成。本文提出SemaPop框架,引入人物画像表示作为生成条件信号。通过大语言模型(LLMs)从调查数据中提取人物描述文本,并编码为语义嵌入,实现统计约束下的可控人口生成。采用基于GAN的架构并加入边际正则化以保持分布一致性。大量实验表明,SemaPop显著提升生成性能,在目标边际与联合分布对齐度上表现更优,同时保证样本层面的可行性与多样性。反事实分析进一步验证,语义干预可引发系统性且可解释的人口结构变化。结果表明,基于人物画像的语义条件化在可控、情景导向的人口合成中具有潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Population synthesis is essential for individual-level simulation in transport planning and socio-economic analysis, yet remains challenging due to the need to capture both statistical dependencies and high-level behavioral semantics. Existing data-driven approaches predominantly rely on unconditional generation, limiting their ability to support scenario-driven or target-oriented population synthesis. This study proposes SemaPop, a semantic-conditioned and controllable population synthesis framework that introduces persona representations as conditioning signals for generation. By deriving persona text from survey data using large language models (LLMs) and encoding it into semantic embeddings, SemaPop enables controllable population generation under statistical constraints. We instantiate the framework using a GAN-based architecture with marginal regularization to preserve distributional consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SemaPop substantially improves generative performance, yielding closer alignment with target marginal and joint distributions while maintaining sample-level feasibility and diversity under semantic conditioning. Counterfactual analyses further demonstrate that semantic interventions induce systematic and interpretable shifts in generated populations. These results highlight the potential of persona-based semantic conditioning for controllable and scenario-oriented population synthesis.
