COPE (Continual Optimization with Personalized embedding and self-Evaluation) is a new framework that continually personalizes large language models using learnable user embeddings and self‑evaluation to generate proxy rewards. It integrates preference capture, self‑evaluation calibration, and personalized response optimization into a single update step, allowing continuous model updates even when explicit user feedback is sparse. Experiments demonstrate that COPE outperforms both training‑free and training‑based baselines, remains complementary to Retrieval‑Augmented Prompting, and shows reliable self‑evaluation, meaningful preference patterns, stable general capabilities, and robustness to shifting preferences and alternative evaluators.

arXiv:2602. 12394v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personalized prompting offers large opportunities for deploying large language models (LLMs) to diverse users, yet existing prompt optimization methods primarily focus on task-level optimization while largely overlooking user-specific preferences and latent constraints of individual users.

The paper introduces TAP-PER, a prefix‑based framework that learns compact user representations for large language model personalization. By encoding user preferences into lightweight prefix embeddings and incorporating temporal signals, TAP‑PER avoids the need for heavy per‑user adapters or prompt‑serialized histories. Experiments on six LaMP tasks show that TAP‑PER outperforms both prompt‑based and model‑based baselines while using far fewer per‑user parameters, enabling scalable personalization at large user scales.
