SimSkill is a lifelong learning AI agent that uses the SUMO traffic simulator to autonomously identify gaps in its capabilities, generate and solve tasks grounded in the environment, and verify solutions through an action‑critic loop. It consolidates experience into episodic, procedural, and semantic memory without updating its backbone language model, creating a reusable library for traffic‑simulation workflows. Evaluations on two benchmarks with three different LLM backbones show that SimSkill can improve verified completion rates by up to 25 percentage points, with procedural and semantic memory contributing complementarily to performance.

CityReal is a modular framework that uses large language model agents to simulate human-aligned urban behavior. It models agents as intention-driven decision makers who pursue coherent mobility and activity plans, learning habits and preferences over time. By training textual adapters to align agent decisions with observed population statistics, CityReal improves realism at both micro and macro levels and can scale to tens of thousands of agents for analyzing crowd density, place popularity, mobility flows, and well‑being under various urban scenarios.

LE4Mob is a new location embedding framework that learns inductive, distance‑aware representations from geographic context, enabling it to encode unseen locations and preserve spatial relationships. It builds on contrastive language‑location pre‑training and adds a regularisation objective that encourages the embedding space to reflect geographic distance. Experiments on next‑location prediction and commuter flow generation across multiple datasets show that LE4Mob outperforms strong baselines, especially in inductive settings and when downstream models use direct interactions between location embeddings.
