LLM Population Attitude Simulation

Published:

An ongoing research project investigating the alignment between LLM-generated demographic attitudes and actual public opinion data. Using NVIDIA’s Nemotron-Personas-France dataset with 6M synthetic personas, we evaluate how well different LLMs capture real-world opinion distributions across social groups.

Technical Stack:

  • Python data pipeline (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn)
  • LLM inference with multiple model comparison
  • Statistical validation against ground-truth survey data
  • Retrieval-augmented generation for persona-conditioned prompts

Status: In progress (Spring 2026)
