New framework measures LLM simulation fidelity in long-horizon human activity

Researchers have developed a new framework to evaluate the behavioral fidelity of long-horizon human activity simulations generated by LLMs. Their study collected a 43-hour dataset of office activities and compared different conditioning mechanisms, including persona descriptors, few-shot exemplars, and statistical priors. The findings indicate that while statistical priors align activity distributions with real behavior, they can fragment routines and reduce individual variability, suggesting a need for holistic evaluation across multiple metrics and temporal granularities.

    Measuring the Behavioral Fidelity of Long-Horizon Human Activity Simulations

    arXiv:2609.01257v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based human simulators are increasingly used for policy, evaluation, and training, they must faithfully reproduce real behavioral patterns. While prior work has examined behavioral fidelity in survey responses and dialogue, l…
