Multilingual Agent-Based World Modeling for Social Science
Quick summary
arXiv:2512.07195v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent role-playing has recently shown promise for studying social behavior with language agents, but existing simulations are mostly monolingual without cross-lingual interaction, an essential property of real societies. We introduce MAWM, the first Multilingual Agent-based World Modeling framework that supports multi-turn multilingual interactions among generative agents with diverse sociolinguistic profiles. MAWM enables two modes of analysis: (i) global public opinion modeling, which tracks how attitudes toward open-domain surv

Why it matters
“Multilingual Agent-Based World Modeling for Social Science” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
