arXiv:2601. 06362v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personalized large language models are often expected to follow explicit style instructions, yet we find that such instructions can undermine the user-specific characteristics that personalization methods aim to preserve.
The paper "Evaluating Style-Personalized Text Generation: Challenges and Directions" examines the difficulties of assessing text that is tailored to individual users’ styles. It critiques common metrics such as BLEU, embeddings, and LLM-as-judges, and introduces a style discrimination benchmark covering domain discrimination, authorship attribution, and LLM-generated personalized versus non-personalized discrimination across eight writing tasks. The study finds that ensembles of diverse evaluation metrics outperform single-evaluator approaches and offers guidance for reliable assessment of style-personalized generation.

AuthorMix is a lightweight, modular framework for authorship style transfer that uses layer‑wise adapter mixing. It trains individual style‑specific LoRA adapters on a small set of high‑resource authors, enabling rapid adaptation to new target styles with only a few examples. The method achieves the highest combined style‑meaning score among baselines, including GPT‑5.1, and improves meaning preservation, as confirmed by human evaluation.
PLUME is a lightweight framework for personalizing large language models by learning a shared task-specific subspace from aggregated user data and then training only a small square matrix for each user within that subspace. The approach introduces cross-layer shared parameters and rank‑1 residual terms to reduce redundancy while preserving expressiveness. Experiments on personalized text generation benchmarks show that PLUME matches or outperforms strong baselines while cutting per‑user parameters by over 95%.
arXiv:2509. 24696v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Personalizing large language models (LLMs) to individual user preferences is a critical step beyond generating generically helpful responses.
The paper introduces TAP-PER, a prefix‑based framework that learns compact user representations for large language model personalization. By encoding user preferences into lightweight prefix embeddings and incorporating temporal signals, TAP‑PER avoids the need for heavy per‑user adapters or prompt‑serialized histories. Experiments on six LaMP tasks show that TAP‑PER outperforms both prompt‑based and model‑based baselines while using far fewer per‑user parameters, enabling scalable personalization at large user scales.
arXiv:2608. 05813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalizing language models (LMs) to individual user preferences is essential for aligning responses with diverse goals and backgrounds.
arXiv:2609.24979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-device large language models (`LLMs'), e.g. running on mobile phones, are ripe for improvement via personalization. The limited compute resources of...
arXiv:2606. 06614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite growing interest, most evaluations of large language models' (LLMs') personalization abilities have relied on synthetic data.
arXiv:2608. 12389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-domain zero- or few-shot personalization aims to generate user-preferred responses in unseen conversational domains from only a handful of target-domain interactions.
TextAlign is a post‑training preference‑alignment framework that improves text rendering in large text‑to‑image generative models without changing the generator architecture. It uses a hierarchical vision‑language model to reward global, word, and glyph‑level accuracy, converting binary defect judgments into a scalar preference signal that can be optimized with GRPO or DPO. Experiments on FLUX.1‑dev and Z‑Image‑Turbo demonstrate higher OCR‑based text accuracy while preserving overall generation quality, outperforming several foundation and text‑rendering baselines.
