Graph-Based Alternatives to LLMs for Human Simulation

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2511.02135v2 Announce Type: replace Large language models (LLMs) have become a popular approach for simulating human behaviors, yet it remains unclear if LLMs are necessary for all simulation tasks. We study a broad family of close-ended simulation tasks, with applications from survey prediction to test-taking, and show that a graph neural network can match or surpass strong LLM-based methods. We
