GMTRouter: Personalized LLM Router over Multi-turn User Interactions

GMTRouter is a personalized large language model router that represents multi‑turn user‑LLM interactions as a heterogeneous graph with five node types—user, LLM, query, response, and turn—to preserve relational structure. Using a lightweight inductive graph learning framework and a user‑conditioned graph sampling mechanism, it captures user preferences from few‑shot data, enabling effective personalization without extensive fine‑tuning. Experiments show GMTRouter outperforms strong baselines, improving accuracy by up to 0.108 and AUC by 0.124, and adapts to new users with minimal data.

MiCRo: Mixture Modeling and Context-aware Routing for Personalized Preference Learning

MiCRo is a two‑stage framework that improves personalized preference learning for large language models. It first uses a context‑aware mixture model to capture diverse human preferences from large binary preference datasets, then applies an online routing strategy to dynamically adjust mixture weights based on context, reducing ambiguity. Experiments on multiple datasets show that MiCRo captures diverse preferences and enhances downstream personalization.

COPE: Continual Personalization of LLMs under Sparse User Feedback via User Embeddings and Self-Evaluation

COPE (Continual Optimization with Personalized embedding and self-Evaluation) is a new framework that continually personalizes large language models using learnable user embeddings and self‑evaluation to generate proxy rewards. It integrates preference capture, self‑evaluation calibration, and personalized response optimization into a single update step, allowing continuous model updates even when explicit user feedback is sparse. Experiments demonstrate that COPE outperforms both training‑free and training‑based baselines, remains complementary to Retrieval‑Augmented Prompting, and shows reliable self‑evaluation, meaningful preference patterns, stable general capabilities, and robustness to shifting preferences and alternative evaluators.
