arXiv:2508. 11847v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a method for evaluating the robustness of widely used LLM ranking systems -- variants of a Bradley--Terry model -- to dropping a worst-case very small fraction of preference data.

arXiv:2505. 04260v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Personalizing LLM responses typically requires users to articulate their preferences through prompting, which can be burdensome at cold start and difficult to articulate in natural language.

We’re clarifying how ChatGPT’s behavior is shaped and our plans for improving that behavior, allowing more user customization, and getting more public input into our decision-making in these areas.
The paper surveys how AI copilots—AI-powered assistants for knowledge workers and developers—can personalize their behavior by optimizing user preferences. It reviews how preference signals are collected, modeled at different interaction stages, and refined through feedback loops, and introduces a taxonomy of optimization techniques for pre-, mid-, and post-interaction phases. The study evaluates each technique’s strengths, limitations, and design implications, aiming to unify efforts across AI personalization, human‑AI interaction, and language model adaptation.
