From Clicks to Intent: Cross-Platform Session Embeddings with LLM-Distilled Taxonomy for Financial Services Recommendations

arXiv:2606. 26277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential user behavior modeling is widely adopted in industrial recommender systems; however, significant gaps remain in financial services, where pre-login web interactions and authenticated in-app experiences differ drastically.

PersonaMem-v3: Toward Omni-Platform Personal Intelligence for Holistic User Understanding, Recommendation, and Agentic Tasks

PersonaMem-v3 is a benchmark and evaluation harness designed to assess omni-platform personal intelligence for AI agents. It is built from over one million anonymized real-world engagement histories, covering social media, chatbots, calendars, and AI companions, and tracks user preferences and habits over time. The benchmark tests agents on personalization, LLM-powered recommendation, proactiveness, agentic tool use, and geo-temporal reasoning, evaluating their ability to infer holistic user understanding, personalize responses, rerank recommendations, follow user steering, and avoid inappropriate personalization.

Synthetic Interaction Data for Scalable Personalization in Large Language Models

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.

ZeroHAT: Behavior-Conditioned Zero-Shot Human Activity Trace Generation

ZeroHAT is a new framework for generating synthetic human activity traces (HATs) in a target region without any real data from that region. It transfers behavioral patterns learned from real HATs in source regions and adapts them using publicly available contextual information about the target region. The system includes a consistency-aware intent extractor, a cross-region behavioral cloning module, and a behavior-conditioned activity realization module, and it outperforms the strongest baseline by 4.5–6.4× in downstream utility and improves fidelity by 15.6–40.8% across ten cities.

LUNAR: Benchmarking Personalized Large Language Models on UNiversal User BehAvioR Logs

arXiv:2608. 05246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing personalized LLM benchmarks primarily rely on textual personas or isolated behavioral signals, providing limited evaluation of cross-domain behavioral personalization, where responses must be grounded in heterogeneous daily-life activities.
