Traits Run Deeper: Trait-Specific Asymmetric Fusion for Multimodal Personality Assessment

Traits Run Deeper introduces a personality assessment framework that tailors multimodal fusion to each trait dimension. It comprises a Multimodal Foundation Representation module that uses psychology-informed semantic templates, a Trait-Specific Modality Fusion module that asymmetrically fuses modalities to reduce cross‑modal interference, and a Distribution‑Calibrated Personality Regression module that corrects label imbalance. The approach achieves a ~25% reduction in mean squared error on the AVI Challenge 2026 validation set and wins the Personality Assessment Track.

Beauty is in the AI of the beholder: MLLMs systematically overrate facial attractiveness

Beauty assessments from Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly popular, prompting a study comparing 2,513 human ratings to four commercial AI models—Claude, Gemini, GPT, and Grok. The study found that MLLMs consistently rate faces more favorably and with a narrower range than humans, yet they maintain strong correlations with human judgments and accurately track the rank‑ordering of faces. While all models agree strongly with each other, Grok showed the lowest agreement with human ratings, and only face age emerged as a common predictor of attractiveness across humans and MLLMs.
