arXiv:2607. 20803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation steering enables control and interpretation of LLMs, yet existing work primarily models personality through static trait frameworks such as the Big Five.
arXiv:2608. 10703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly act in interactive settings where their behavioral styles affect user experience, safety, and downstream decision making.
arXiv:2607. 07916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models exhibit recurring behavioural patterns -- personas -- that shape generalisation and safety, but we lack reliable tools for decomposing, measuring, and controlling them.
arXiv:2607. 26853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human personality theories characterize traits not as isolated attributes captured by a single score, but as stable individual tendencies expressed through the interplay among persons, situations, and behaviors.
arXiv:2606. 28770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated the ability to simulate human-like OCEAN personality traits in generated text.
arXiv:2607. 13162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: What a language model will and will not do is largely set during post-training, but which behaviors it expresses, hides, or resists is not revealed by prompting alone.
arXiv:2605. 09159v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work shows that large language models (LLMs) encode behavioral traits ("personas") as linear directions in activation space, often called "persona vectors".
arXiv:2607. 26389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuning a language model on data containing a narrow flaw, such as insecure code or incorrect mathematical answers, can cause broad misalignment through a mechanism that remains debated.
arXiv:2510. 04484v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The ability to control LLMs' emulated emotional states and personality traits is an essential step in enabling rich, human-centered interactions in socially interactive settings.
arXiv:2503. 20182v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) increasingly function as human-like assistants exhibiting human-like personality traits, understanding their behavioral characteristics becomes essential for responsible AI development.
arXiv:2601. 02896v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Controlling emergent behavioral personas (e.
arXiv:2606. 11074v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the widespread deployment of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in social interaction, understanding and controlling their behavior under complex personality conditions is essential.
arXiv:2608. 11354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern recommender systems treat observed actions as reliable proxies for user preferences, yet interactions often reflect exploration or comparison rather than stable preference expression.
