Simulating high quality user behavior data has always been a fundamental problem in human-centered applications, where the major difficulty originates from the intricate mechanism of human decision process. Recently, substantial evidences have suggested that by learning huge amounts of web knowledge, large language models (LLMs) can achieve human-like intelligence. We believe these models can provide significant opportunities to more believable user behavior simulation. To inspire such direction, we propose an LLM-based agent framework and design a sandbox environment to simulate real user behaviors. Based on extensive experiments, we find that the simulated behaviors of our method are very close to the ones of real humans. Concerning potential applications, we simulate and study two social phenomenons including (1) information cocoons and (2) user conformity behaviors. This research provides novel simulation paradigms for human-centered applications.

  1. Attacking and Defending Multi-Agent Collaborative Filtering Systems Through Connectivity

    cs.IR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In agent-based collaborative filtering, attack spread and privacy leakage grow with interaction connectivity, but the effect is asymmetric between user and item agents and differs between early and steady-state phases.

  2. LLM4MEA: Data-free Model Extraction Attacks on Sequential Recommenders via Large Language Models

    cs.IR 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An LLM-driven agent generates synthetic interaction sequences that, when queried against a target sequential recommender, produce surrogate models with higher agreement to the target than random or autoregressive data...

  3. The Future is Agentic: Definitions, Perspectives, and Open Challenges of Multi-Agent Recommender Systems

    cs.IR 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A framework for agentic recommender systems plus a pilot study showing multi-agent pipelines beat a single-shot LLM only on high-diversity user histories.

  4. Modeling Earth-Scale Human-Like Societies with One Billion Agents

    cs.MA 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Light Society scales LLM-agent social simulations to one billion agents by substituting most LLM interactions with a distilled surrogate model.

  5. Empowering Economic Simulation for Massively Multiplayer Online Games through Generative Agent-Based Modeling

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LLM-driven agents in a simulated MMO economy reproduce role specialization and price responses to supply and demand, though the price result is partly shaped by what the AI is told.

  6. Autonomous Information Seeking: A Roadmap for Agentic Recommender Systems

    cs.IR 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Agentic recommender systems are organized by agent role (assisted, as-recommender, as-simulator) crossed with autonomy levels L2–L5, yielding a roadmap of architectures, evaluation limits, and open challenges.
