Individual Simulation
Focuses on designing modular agent architectures to mimic specific individuals or groups with high fidelity. This involves defining agent profiles (attributes, behaviors), managing memory (short-term, long-term, and operations like writing, retrieval, reflection), planning actions (empathetic, subjective), and executing actions in various situations and domains. Construction methods include nonparametric prompting and parametric training (pre-training, fine-tuning, reinforcement learning). Evaluations ensure accuracy and consistency in replicating human behavior.
Scenario Simulation
Organizes multiple agents in concentrated scenarios to achieve specific goals, exploring collective intelligence. Key components include a defined environment (configuration, state, history), distinct roles for agents (communicators, workers, directors), organizational structures (static, dynamic, layered, centralized, decentralized), and communication protocols (unstructured/structured, cooperative/competitive). Scenarios range from dialog-driven tasks like social interaction and question-answering to task-driven applications in software development and scientific discovery. Evaluation assesses task completion, sub-task performance, and overall system efficiency.
Society Simulation
Aims to investigate societal dynamics and emergent behaviors rather than solving specific tasks, bridging individual and societal scales. It models society through its composition (diverse individuals, virtual synthesis, real-world replication), networks (offline, online), social influence (received by influencee, exerted by influencer), and outcomes (macro statistical results, social phenomena, social norms). Scenarios include general economics (game theory, economic contexts), sociology and political science (public opinion surveys, behavioral observation), and online platforms (social media, recommendation environments). Evaluation compares simulation results against real-world data at micro, macro, and system levels.
