The $\textit{Silicon Society}$ Cookbook: Design Space of LLM-based Social Simulations

Dimensions overall score 0.0

• This paper systematically analyzes the design space of LLM-based social simulations to help researchers make more informed decisions about agent models and network structures. However, the design space of these networks remains under-studied, which contributes to a gap in validating model realism.problem 35%

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 0.0/10 on the public viability pass. To enable future works to make more informed design decisions, we perform a systematic analysis of the consequences and interactions of key design choices in simulated social networks, including the choice of base model used to model individual agents, and how they are connected to each other.result 35%
