GTA: Generative Traffic Agents for Simulating Realistic Mobility Behavior People's transportation choices reflect complex trade-offs shaped by personal preferences, social norms, and technology acceptance. Predicting such behavior at scale is a critical challenge with major...

Excited that β€œGTA: Generative Traffic Agents for Simulating Realistic Mobility Behavior” has been conditionally accepted at #CHI2026 πŸŽ‰

We generate artificial populations from census data, integrate a traffic simulator and evaluate the approach against empirical data.

When discussing how to identify LLM-generated or -tuned text in research papers, the most obvious indicator is that every abbreviation is introduced 7 to 12 times

β€œAltman has said it’s better to talk about levels of progress toward this state of general intelligence rather than asking if something is AGI or not.”

2022: AGI in a year
2023: AGI in a year
2024: AGI in a year
2025: stop asking about AGI!

Today I gave a talk at @tue.nl and presented my vision of how to use computational models of human behavior as interactive crash test dummies. I argue that only by using simulation we can develop technology that truly meets human needs.

Thanks to @bazilinskyy.bsky.social for hosting me this week!

So here we are... I'm sorry for the colleagues affected. We can't let these twisted arguments proliferate any longer and finally get coordinated as a field.

Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled.

Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges.

Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading.

Our response to the far-right attacks on our democracy, rights, planet and liberties: Hope and resistance. As they plan to drown us in darkness, 100k people on the streets of Berlin turned on the lights yesterday.
