Large Language Models Should Learn Personalized Rather Than Aggregated Human Preferences

arXiv:2606. 07629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current approaches to aligning large language models (LLMs) aggregate diverse human preferences into a single reward signal, effectively optimizing for a hypothetical ``average user'' who represents no real person particularly well.

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.

Suan: Rectifying Direct Preference Safety Alignment in Large Language Models

The paper introduces Suan, a new preference optimization algorithm designed to improve safety alignment in large language models. Suan operates directly at the gradient level, avoiding traditional variational derivations, which yields more interpretable and robust training dynamics. Experiments show that Suan outperforms existing methods, achieving superior safety alignment while maintaining response utility.

Synthetic Interaction Data for Scalable Personalization in Large Language Models

arXiv:2602. 12394v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personalized prompting offers large opportunities for deploying large language models (LLMs) to diverse users, yet existing prompt optimization methods primarily focus on task-level optimization while largely overlooking user-specific preferences and latent constraints of individual users.
