AgentWorld: Personality-Aware Reliability Evaluation for Agentic Information Retrieval

Read the original on arXiv AI →

AgentWorld is a simulation framework that evaluates agentic information retrieval by incorporating diverse user personalities based on the Big Five (OCEAN) traits, stateful tool-use environments, and a pass$^k$ consistency metric with structured fault classification and partial-credit scoring. It includes a risk analyzer that uses Monte‑Carlo rollouts and advanced scoring methods to quantify trajectory brittleness and attack attribution. Experiments with conversational analytics, customer‑support agents, and adversarial stress‑testing demonstrate that personality variation reveals failure modes hidden by uniform testing, such as cross‑domain leakage, contextual drift, and significant quality gaps across personas.

Persona Cartography: Charting Language Model Personality Traits in Weight Space

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.

Adversarial Stress Testing of Role-Playing Language Agents using Multi-Agent Evaluation

arXiv:2608. 03166v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-Playing Language Agents (RPLAs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes applications such as healthcare assistance, customer support, and education, where maintaining consistent personas, ethical constraints, and behavioral coherence under adversarial pressure is critical.

When Personality Meets Quantization: A Layer-wise MBTI Analysis of Quantized LLMs

The paper presents a systematic MBTI analysis of open‑source large language models (LLMs) across various quantization levels, including mainstream 4‑bit and extreme 2‑bit settings. It examines how personality traits emerge layer‑by‑layer through entropy and confidence‑gap dynamics, and introduces Uncertainty‑Amplified Layer Decoding (UALD) to study decoding‑induced personality drift. Findings show that personality is not static but depends on layer, quantization, prompting, and decoding, with ENFJ traits dominating, 4‑bit quantization preserving coarse structure, and 2‑bit quantization disrupting fine‑grained consistency.
