| 2025 | An Explainable Emotion Alignment Framework for LLM-Empowered Agent in Metaverse Service EcosystemabstractMetaverse service is a product of the convergence between Metaverse and service systems, designed to address service-related challenges within Metaverse. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), agents are employed to represent service entities, facilitating various service events and interactions in Metaverse service ecosystem. However, existing LLM-based agents exhibit critical limitations in emotional state integration, failing to emulate the bounded rationality required for bridging virtual-world services with real-world services, such as emotion measurement, emotional state evolution and emotional decision. This paper proposes an explainable emotion alignment framework for LLM-based agents in Metaverse Service Ecosystem. It aims to integrate factual factors into the decision-making loop of LLM-based agents, systematically demonstrating how to achieve more relational emotion alignment for these agents. Finally, a simulation experiment in the Offline-to-Offline food delivery scenario is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this framework, obtaining more realistic social emergence.

| 2025 | A Framework for Analyzing Abnormal Emergence in Service Ecosystems Through LLM-Based Agent Intention MiningabstractWith the rise of service computing, cloud computing, and IoT, service ecosystems are becoming increasingly complex. The intricate interactions among intelligent agents make abnormal emergence analysis challenging, as traditional causal methods focus on individual trajectories. Large language models offer new possibilities for Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to reveal agent intentions. However, existing approaches remain limited to microscopic and static analysis. This paper introduces a framework: Emergence Analysis based on Multi-Agent Intention (EAMI), which enables dynamic and interpretable emergence analysis. EAMI first employs a dual-perspective thought track mechanism, where an Inspector Agent and an Analysis Agent extract agent intentions under bounded and perfect rationality. Then, k-means clustering identifies phase transition points in group intentions, followed by a Intention Temporal Emergence diagram for dynamic analysis. The experiments validate EAMI in complex online-to-offline (O2O) service system and the Stanford AI Town experiment, with ablation studies confirming its effectiveness, generalizability, and efficiency. This framework provides a novel paradigm for abnormal emergence and causal analysis in service ecosystems. The code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/EAMI-B085.
