I am Xinnong Zhang (张辛农), a Ph.D. student at Fudan University. I’m currently advised by Prof. Zhongyu Wei and carrying out my research at Shanghai Innovation Institute (SII) and the Fudan DISC Lab. My email is xnzhang23 AT m DOT fudan DOT edu DOT cn.

Research Interests

Currently, I’m excited about the following topics:

• Bootstrapping Computational Social Science via Large Vision Language Models
• Social Simulation Powered by LLM Agents

What’s New

• [2025.04.14] SocioVerse is now released with a 1 million user dataset open source! Try on [Homepage]
• [2025.01.23] AgentSense has been accepted by NAACL’25 main conference!
• [2024.12.05] Our Survey on Social Simulation has been released! [Paper], [Repo].
• [2024.10.29] AI-Press, AgentSense, and ElectionSim, altogether three new works are now released! It’s been quite tough days, and now I’m planning on a vacation : )
