• Title: Network Formation and Dynamics Among Multi-LLMs
• Authors: Marios Papachristou, Yuan Yuan,
• Abstract summary: We show that large language models (LLMs) exhibit key social network principles when asked about their preferences in network formation. We also investigate LLMs' decision-making based on real-world networks, revealing that triadic closure and homophily have a stronger influence than preferential attachment.

• Abstract: Social networks shape opinions, behaviors, and information dissemination in human societies. As large language models (LLMs) increasingly integrate into social and professional environments, understanding their behavior within the context of social interactions and networks becomes essential. Our study analyzes LLMs' network formation behavior to examine whether the dynamics of multiple LLMs are similar to or different from human social dynamics. We observe that LLMs exhibit key social network principles, including preferential attachment, triadic closure, homophily, community structure, and the small-world phenomenon, when asked about their preferences in network formation. We also investigate LLMs' decision-making based on real-world networks, revealing that triadic closure and homophily have a stronger influence than preferential attachment and that LLMs perform well in network formation predictions. Overall, our study opens up new possibilities for using LLMs in network science research and helps develop socially aware LLMs by shedding light on their social interaction behaviors and exploring their impacts on social dynamics.

  We develop three prompting methods for network generation and compare the generated networks to real social networks. We find that more realistic networks are generated with "local" methods, where the LLM constructs relations for one persona at a time. We also find that the generated networks match real networks on many characteristics, including density, clustering, community structure, and degree.

  Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged, demonstrating near-human-level performance in cognitive tasks. We propose the concept of "generative AI-in-the-loop" We believe that combining LLMs and ML models allows both to leverage their respective capabilities and achieve better results than either model alone.

  State-Understanding-Value-Action (SUVA) is a framework to systematically analyze responses in social contexts. It assesses social behavior through both their final decisions and the response generation processes leading to those decisions. We demonstrate that utterance-based reasoning reliably predicts LLMs' final actions.

  This paper probes the collaboration mechanisms among contemporary NLP systems by practical experiments with theoretical insights. We fabricate four unique societies' comprised of LLM agents, where each agent is characterized by a specific trait' (easy-going or overconfident) and engages in collaboration with a distinct thinking pattern' (debate or reflection) Our results further illustrate that LLM agents manifest human-like social behaviors, such as conformity and consensus reaching, mirroring social psychology theories.

Current language models (LMs) are trained to rigidly replicate their training corpus in isolation. This work presents a novel training paradigm that permits LMs to learn from simulated social interactions.

• Social learning spontaneously emerges by searching optimal heuristics with deep reinforcement learning [0.0]
  We employ a deep reinforcement learning model to optimize the social learning strategies of agents in a cooperative game in a multi-dimensional landscape. We find that the agent spontaneously learns various concepts of social learning, such as copying, focusing on frequent and well-performing neighbors, self-comparison, and the importance of balancing between individual and social learning. We demonstrate the superior performance of the reinforcement learning agent in various environments, including temporally changing environments and real social networks.
