Survey Response Generation: Generating Closed-Ended Survey Responses In-Silico with Large Language Models
Many in-silico simulations of human survey responses with large language models (LLMs) focus on generating closed-ended survey responses, whereas LLMs are typically trained to generate open-ended text instead. Previous research has used a diverse range of methods for generating closed-ended survey responses with LLMs, and a standard practice remains to be identified. In this paper, we systematically investigate the impact that various Survey Response Generation Methods have on predicted survey …

Listening to the Drilled podcast this morning, I am reminded that we who think of ourselves as climate activists do not bear the responsibility for saving the planet -- and should not bear the guilt of passing the point of no return -- on our own.
It is everyone's responsibility -- and perhaps especially, it's those who see themselves as national or world leaders' responsibility.
