The paper surveys how AI copilots—AI-powered assistants for knowledge workers and developers—can personalize their behavior by optimizing user preferences. It reviews how preference signals are collected, modeled at different interaction stages, and refined through feedback loops, and introduces a taxonomy of optimization techniques for pre-, mid-, and post-interaction phases. The study evaluates each technique’s strengths, limitations, and design implications, aiming to unify efforts across AI personalization, human‑AI interaction, and language model adaptation.

PersonaMem-v3 is a benchmark and evaluation harness designed to assess omni-platform personal intelligence for AI agents. It is built from over one million anonymized real-world engagement histories, covering social media, chatbots, calendars, and AI companions, and tracks user preferences and habits over time. The benchmark tests agents on personalization, LLM-powered recommendation, proactiveness, agentic tool use, and geo-temporal reasoning, evaluating their ability to infer holistic user understanding, personalize responses, rerank recommendations, follow user steering, and avoid inappropriate personalization.

HyperTrace is a training‑free framework that personalizes large language models by tracing latent user preferences online. It maintains interpretable natural‑language hypotheses about short‑term intent and long‑term preferences, updating them with an SMC‑style reweighting process driven by an LLM‑based surrogate choice model. Experiments on PRISM and PersonaMem‑v2 demonstrate that HyperTrace improves response alignment, preference prediction, and profile consistency compared to strong online baselines.

The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) interpret ambiguous or incomplete text prompts for visualization authoring and introduces visual prompts as a complementary modality to improve precision. An empirical study informs the design of VisPilot, a system that allows users to create visualizations using text, sketches, and direct manipulation. A controlled user study and expert evaluation show that multimodal prompts help users convey spatial constraints, local references, and design preferences while maintaining task efficiency comparable to text-only prompting.

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.

arXiv:2508. 11847v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a method for evaluating the robustness of widely used LLM ranking systems -- variants of a Bradley--Terry model -- to dropping a worst-case very small fraction of preference data.
