The paper investigates how persona prompting influences the language produced by two multimodal large language models—Qwen3‑VL and Gemma4—when describing urban scenes. Outputs are categorized into descriptive grounding (captions), perception tags, and interpretive framing (justifications). Results show captions largely converge across persona profiles, while justifications differ markedly, especially along economic status, political orientation, and personality dimensions, with economic status producing the greatest variation. Perception tags also reflect attribute similarities, and exploratory topic analysis indicates persona‑specific evaluative emphasis. Overall, persona prompting has a stronger effect on interpretive framing than on descriptive grounding.

The paper investigates how persona prompting—using short textual descriptions of individuals—to align large language models (LLMs) with human survey responses. It examines the impact of selecting different persona attributes and finds that not all attribute combinations improve performance, suggesting that the variation in human responses to survey questions may explain mixed results. The study evaluates multiple attribute selection methods across four social surveys, two countries, six LLMs, and twenty prediction tasks, offering guidance on when persona prompting is beneficial and which attribute choices are most effective.

arXiv:2607. 16214v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image descriptions represented with language models (LMs) predict human brain responses to naturalistic images in high-level visual regions, but the factors driving this predictivity remain unclear.
Personalized language-model assistants are often evaluated through a memory lens: can a model recall preferences users have explicitly stated in dialogue? More comprehensive personalization demands a harder capability -- inferring what users care about from the multimodal traces they naturally leave behind.
