CUEing User Simulators: Calibrated User Embeddings for Multi-Turn Benchmarking

The paper introduces Calibrated User Embeddings (CUE), a framework that encodes real user sessions into continuous representations and decodes them into persona commands to steer large language models (LLMs) as user simulators without additional training. CUE enables user-conditioned replay of past interactions and generates novel personas that better align with real-user success rates and failure patterns. Evaluations on the τ²‑Bench dataset show that CUE‑driven simulators commit fewer simulator‑attributed errors, more accurately reproduce real‑user failure modes, and maintain competitive user fidelity across various tasks and LLMs.

Experimental Analysis of Productive Interaction Strategy with ChatGPT: User Study on Function and Project-level Code Generation Tasks

The study investigates how users interact with ChatGPT for code generation beyond simple function-level tasks, focusing on project-level benchmarks that involve multi-class dependencies. A user study with 36 participants examined prompting patterns, screen recordings, and chat logs to identify Human‑LLM Interaction (HLI) features that influence productivity. The results highlight three consistently supportive HLI features, five guidelines to boost productivity, and a taxonomy of 29 runtime and logic errors with mitigation strategies.
