Statistical Priors for Implicit Preferences: Decoupling Skill Selection as a Local Harness in Personal Agents

arXiv:2606. 05828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities advance, locally deployed personal agents relying on API-based remote models and external skills have emerged as a novel paradigm.

Personalized Recommendation Tool Learning via Autonomous Language Agents

arXiv:2607. 19739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have recently gained traction in recommender systems due to their strong reasoning capabilities and extensive world knowledge, previous LLM-based agents suffer from hallucination and context-length limitations, and thus are not suitable for full-ranking recommendation tasks.

Personalized Recommendation Tool Learning via Autonomous Language Agents

Although large language models (LLMs) have recently gained traction in recommender systems due to their strong reasoning capabilities and extensive world knowledge, previous LLM-based agents suffer from hallucination and context-length limitations, and thus are not suitable for full-ranking recommendation tasks. To circumvent these limitations through architectural design rather than modifying the LLM itself, we propose an agent-based recommendation framework, memory-based $\textbf{P}$ersonalized $\textbf{R}$ecommendation $\textbf{T}$ool learning via autonomous language $\textbf{A}$gents (PRTA), in which an LLM acts as a central planner interacting with multiple recommendation models as tools.

GUIDE: Generative Utility Inference and Decision Engine

GUIDE is a large‑language‑model driven architecture that elicits and infers human user preferences through conversational Bayesian adaptive sampling and symbolic rule‑based learning. It extends adaptive sampling to a wide range of elicitation questions via a flexible type system and initializes domain‑specific preference models using symbolic representations of world knowledge. In simulated investment portfolio optimization, GUIDE outperforms prior methods, LLM‑only baselines, and its own ablated variants by improving cold‑start performance and reducing recommendation regret during early interactions.

HyperTrace: Hypothesis-Based Preference Tracing for Online LLM Personalization

HyperTrace is a training‑free framework that personalizes large language models by tracing latent user preferences online. It maintains interpretable natural‑language hypotheses about short‑term intent and long‑term preferences, updating them with an SMC‑style reweighting process driven by an LLM‑based surrogate choice model. Experiments on PRISM and PersonaMem‑v2 demonstrate that HyperTrace improves response alignment, preference prediction, and profile consistency compared to strong online baselines.

Step-Level Preference Learning for Generative Agents in Social Simulations

arXiv:2607. 14485v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based generative agents simulate human behavior through long-horizon decision-making processes that comprise intermediate steps such as planning, memory retrieval, reflection, and action selection.
