PADM\'E: Preference Alignment Data Synthesis for Meta-Evaluation of LM Agent Evaluators

PADM'E is a method for synthesizing preference‑aligned data to meta‑evaluate language‑model (LM) evaluators of agentic behaviors. It reframes meta‑evaluation as a preference judgment problem, generating criterion‑based data with small LMs and no human involvement. In a prototype, PADM'E produced 1,000 samples across four domains and three criteria, and human validation showed agreement with human judgment rising from 73% to 85% compared to a naive baseline.

QUMem: Personalized Memory for Query-Conditioned User-State Inference in LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 16168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use external memory systems to support personalization by drawing on long and evolving interaction histories, in which user preferences may be distributed across time, change with context, and conflict with earlier evidence.

To Memories and Beyond: From Remembering to Knowing You across Long-Term Multimodal Personal Archives

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 Lifecycle of LLM-as-a-Judge for Large-Scale Recommendation Explanations

The paper introduces a lifecycle framework for LLM-as-a-Judge systems used to evaluate recommendation explanations at Netflix. It outlines four phases—Birth, Training, Deployment, and Monitoring—detailing how each stage addresses specific technical and operational challenges. The authors report that after five weeks of A/B testing, judge-aligned explanations increased novel content viewing and successful browse-to-play sessions without quality takedowns.
