Personalizing large language models (LLMs) to individual users is essential for improving user experience, yet existing approaches typically rely on explicit preference supervision such as pairwise comparisons or demographic attributes, limiting their applicability in natural interaction settings. We propose IRIS, a framework that learns dynamic user personas directly from implicit interaction streams by extracting behavioral signals from everyday conversations and iteratively refining persona representations through a prediction-driven closed loop without requiring explicit feedback.
arXiv:2607. 17564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI companions are judged not only by single-turn fluency but by whether they sustain emotional continuity: remembering who the companion is, what the user prefers, and how the relationship has felt.

The paper introduces ReaLMem, a benchmark built from authentic multi‑year personal visual archives with first‑person annotations, designed to evaluate AI systems on factual recall, persona inference, and predictive personalization. It also proposes ChronoProfiler, a temporal‑weighting module that calculates stability scores for user attributes to resolve preference conflicts and enhance personalized decision making. Experiments with multimodal large language models and memory systems show that predictive personalization remains the hardest task, highlight performance gaps, and demonstrate that temporally informed representations significantly improve personalization.

The paper introduces a three-tier persona vector for user simulation in evaluating LLM agents, comprising 23 dimensions across demographics, behavioral traits, and emotional states, plus a query-complexity overlay. It demonstrates that these nuanced personas generate diverse, scenario-reactive conversations, leading to significant variations in agent goal achievement and compliance across different contexts. The model’s design allows for reproducible, auditable user behavior patterns without relying on learned covariance matrices.

The paper introduces a three-tier persona vector to generate diverse, realistic user inputs for evaluating tool-augmented LLM agents. The vector includes 23 dimensions: categorical demographics, continuous behavioral traits, and continuous emotional states, plus a query-complexity overlay. Experiments on 64,698 conversations show that these persona dimensions produce measurable differences in agent performance and realistic scenario-reactive behavior.
