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.

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.

PGMem introduces a persona‑memory graph that tightly couples user persona signals with the events that support or revise them, using typed provenance and evidence edges. This design addresses gaps in existing memory systems where personas are stored as flat, detached profiles. Experiments on three benchmarks show that PGMem outperforms various baseline memory approaches, especially as dialogue context length increases.

R$^{2}$Adapter is a lightweight plug‑in that dynamically routes user queries between vanilla and graph‑based Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. By sending only those queries that truly benefit from graph reasoning, it cuts graph‑retrieval overhead by up to 59% while keeping answer accuracy comparable. The adapter also rewrites uncertain graph‑routed queries to better expose multi‑hop reasoning needs, improving retrieval quality without extra supervision.

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.
