ExploraTwin, a Non-Profit Research Platform for Digital Twin Simulations

Read the original on arXiv AI →

ExploraTwin is an open‑access, non‑profit research platform designed to lower the friction for testing and deploying digital twin simulations. It offers two modes: a survey mode that lets researchers upload or create surveys, select digital twin samples, run simulations, and export analysis‑ready data; and a panel mode that supports small groups of twins for open‑ended conversations, annotation, and moderated voice discussions. The platform also introduced CroissantTwin, a standardized data format for adding twin samples, and demonstrated high fidelity in survey execution with 99.6% valid responses across 197,000 answer units.

Synthetic Personalities: How Well Can LLMs Mimic Individual Respondents Using Socio-Economic Microdata?

arXiv:2606. 04592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based digital twins promise to scale and accelerate market research, but most published twins are either coarse persona bots conditioned on a few demographic questions or detailed individual-level twins built on purpose-collected surveys and interview transcripts.

Synthetic Data in Marketing Research: How to Evaluate and When to Trust

The paper discusses the use of synthetic data in marketing research, arguing that the key question is not whether synthetic respondents work, but when they do. It categorizes synthetic data into three types—ungrounded LLM responses, segment-level personas, and individual-level digital twins—and maps each to the decisions they can support. The authors also propose a taxonomy of accuracy measures, highlight the forgotten question problem, and introduce an ex‑ante answerability diagnostic based on R² to improve twin-human correlation.
