LLMs simulate cross-cultural survey responses using value-based personas

Researchers have developed a new method for simulating survey responses across different cultures using large language models. This approach utilizes "calibrated value personas" derived from actual survey data, which better capture the underlying cultural values that influence opinions than traditional demographic or personality traits. The method aims to improve the accuracy and diversity of LLM-generated responses, particularly for underrepresented populations, thereby reducing the performance gap between countries and better matching human response distributions.

    Improving Cross-Cultural Survey Simulation with Calibrated Value Personas

    Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to simulate human opinions and survey responses, but their ability to reproduce population responses across cultures remains limited. Existing persona-based prompting methods typically rely on sociodemographic or personality trai…
