arXiv:2607. 25140v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the behavior of language models in a multi-agent crowd simulation, focusing on how affect propagates among agents that perceive and appraise one another.
arXiv:2606. 31038v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For virtual humans to appear believable, they must exhibit agency and spatial awareness while interacting with their environment in ways that reflect competence and intelligence.
arXiv:2606. 29212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent-based evacuation simulations are widely used to study crowd behavior during emergencies, but many models rely on assumptions such as perfect event awareness, complete exit knowledge, and fully rational decision-making.
arXiv:2607. 17437v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents offer a generative approach to simulating human behavior under conditions that may have few or no direct historical analogues, a common challenge in disaster and infrastructure-disruption planning.
arXiv:2607. 07824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have substantially advanced persona-based dialogue agents for emotion-sensitive role simulation in healthcare, education, counseling, customer service, and interactive storytelling.
arXiv:2609.06654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computational modeling of emotion has long faced a tension between descriptive, "snapshot-based" appraisal models and granular, signal-driven architect...
The paper introduces the Self‑Emergence Agent Architecture (SEAA), a framework that combines a Hidden Markov Model for behavioral inertia, a reflexive metacognition loop that updates the HMM, and a social environment where agents compare behaviors. This closed loop enables agents to develop distinct, stable personalities and social structures without external prompts. Experiments with both a language‑model‑free prototype and hosted LLMs demonstrate spontaneous symmetry breaking and the emergence of consensus hubs and outliers.
arXiv:2608. 06485v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personality-conditioned LLM agents (PC-Agents) are increasingly used in emotional support, social simulation, and role-playing, motivating the development of lifelong agents that remain coherent over extended interactions.
arXiv:2606. 03137v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based multi-agent simulation offers a promising way to study social interaction, deliberation, and collective opinion dynamics.
arXiv:2607. 12631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents in high-stakes domains, understanding contextual factors that may modulate their decision-making becomes critical.
The paper introduces a three-tier persona vector for user simulation in evaluating LLM agents, comprising 23 dimensions across demographics, behavioral traits, and emotional states, plus a query-complexity overlay. It demonstrates that these nuanced personas generate diverse, scenario-reactive conversations, leading to significant variations in agent goal achievement and compliance across different contexts. The model’s design allows for reproducible, auditable user behavior patterns without relying on learned covariance matrices.
arXiv:2609.16436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulations based on large language models (LLMs) have proven to be powerful for understanding human behavior, making them valuable additions to the...
The paper introduces PanicCognitivePath (PCP), a model that predicts the timing of panic emotional arousal by integrating appraisal emotion theory into a Belief‑Desire‑Emotion‑Intention (BDEI) framework. PCP uses a Psychological Safety Distance (PSD) model to fuse physical, social, cognitive, and informational signals into a unified risk metric, and confines large language models to a single parameter‑estimation step to reduce hallucinations. Experiments on Hurricane Sandy data show PCP improves individual prediction accuracy by 10.68% and reduces peak count error to 7.07%.
