The paper introduces an Evidence-Traceable Dynamic Interviewer Architecture that uses a locally hosted Large Language Model to adapt interview questions in real time based on participants’ expertise. It features a five‑module prompt‑driven design, including an Expertise Profiling module that achieved 78.9% exact agreement with self‑reported expertise and a Generate Iterative Questions module that showed a strong expertise‑complexity association. In a study with 246 participants, the system received high ratings for relevance, engagement, and satisfaction, indicating that its adaptive components functioned as intended.

The study examines whether a one‑hour adaptive interview can reveal a person’s value‑laden decision policies to a large language model (LLM). Forty‑six adults underwent the interview and later answered 25 dilemma questions; the researchers compared predictions from various transcript segments, adaptive versus fixed follow‑ups, and a baseline model with no personal data. Results show that no part of the interview reliably predicts the participants’ answers better than the baseline, and adaptive follow‑ups offer no advantage over fixed ones, though the transcripts do help recover the participants’ MBTI types.

Preparing for job interviews is important for securing desired positions, yet realistic practice remains difficult to access: real interviews are infrequent, expert mock coaching is costly, and self-practice offers neither adaptive dialogue nor structured assessment. Existing systems typically address only parts of this need through fixed question sequences, limited communication channels, or feedback with little supporting evidence.
The paper introduces a prompt‑engineering framework that personalizes large language model (LLM) teaching assistants across disciplines by tailoring responses to six learner‑specific dimensions, creating 96 distinct learner profiles. It also analyzes student queries through Bloom’s Taxonomy to gauge cognitive complexity, encoding both learner attributes and cognitive assessments into structured prompts that condition the LLM without retraining. Experiments using NLP metrics and a small human study demonstrate that this approach yields perceptible differences in response style and structure, with statistical evidence linking specific learner attributes to measurable changes.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as interactive assistants for technical problem solving. However, when users provide incomplete descriptions or plausible but unverified explanations, LLMs may prematurely align with these assumptions and propose solutions before collecting sufficient evidence.
