Emergi-PersonaOS: A Persona Agent Operating System for Situational Adaptation and Controllable Evolution

Emergi-PersonaOS is a psychology‑grounded operating system designed to manage persona agents throughout their lifecycle. It structures personas into three layers—dispositional traits, characteristic adaptations, and narrative identity—allowing the system to infer current persona states from situational cues and generate appropriate actions. The OS records experiences, evaluates revision candidates, and controls belief updates through explicit review and traceable evidence, enabling controllable evolution of persona agents over long interactions.

SocialArena: Evaluating Social Intelligence in Large Language Models

SocialArena is a benchmark designed to evaluate the social intelligence of large language models (LLMs) across three dimensions: role‑playing ability, mental state reasoning, and behavioral reasoning. It introduces a role‑playing dialogue paradigm with explicit character thinking to assess these capabilities in realistic human interactions, and a U‑TRIMF framework to synthesize diverse social contexts. The evaluation relies on a human‑annotated arena‑style protocol, supported by a $132.4K investment in recruiting and training annotators who compare model responses and provide preference labels and critiques.

Learning What to Share and What to Personalize: Hierarchical Strategy Co-Evolution for Agent Memory

The paper introduces HiPS, a hierarchical strategy co‑evolution framework for memory‑augmented agents that separates memory management into a globally shared foundation and a user‑specific adaptive tier. HiPS uses a Universal Strategy to capture shared principles from cross‑persona trajectories, Persona Delta Distillation to create tailored rules for users deviating from general patterns, and Cross‑Level Rule Flow to dynamically adjust the boundary between global and personal rules. Experiments show that this approach consistently outperforms existing memory‑augmented baselines.

Decoupling Patient Personas and Clinical Workflows: A Dual-Agent Approach to Realistic Medical Dialogue Generation

The paper introduces CoRPS-Dial, a dual-agent framework that synthesizes pre‑consultation medical dialogues by combining a persona‑driven patient agent with a process‑guided doctor agent. It incorporates post‑hoc quality control to ensure role consistency, workflow completeness, and textual consistency. Experiments on coronary heart disease data show that CoRPS‑Dial produces dialogues that better match real conversations in information coverage, clinical compliance, and naturalness, and that the synthetic data improves downstream medical dialogue tasks.

Do LLMs Understand Personality? Rethinking Persona Fidelity Evaluation through Structured Behavioral Inference

The paper introduces PRISM, a new framework for evaluating how well large language models (LLMs) maintain persona fidelity in dynamic dialogue. PRISM reframes the task as a structured inverse inference problem grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics, breaking persona fidelity into Task Framing, Interpersonal Stance, and Linguistic Style dimensions. Experiments demonstrate that PRISM produces more accurate and stable judgments than existing holistic or static psychometric methods, offering a more reliable and auditable evaluation process.
