UserToolBench: A User-Profile-Hidden Benchmark for Personalized Decision Making in Tool-Use LLMs

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 10042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-use LLMs are increasingly asked to act on users' behalf, but existing benchmarks usually focus on profile recall, style imitation, generic tool use, or response-level personalization.

Latent Preference Modeling for Multi-Session Personalized Tool Calling

The paper introduces the Multi-Session Personalized Tool Calling (MPT) benchmark, containing 4,695 instances across 459 multi‑session histories that test Preference Recall, Induction, and Transfer. It proposes PRefine, a test‑time memory method that refines a user’s latent preference via a generate‑verify‑refine loop. Experiments with five LLMs show that PRefine outperforms existing memory systems and even full‑history prompting on Preference Transfer, suggesting that personalized agents should encode behavior as preferences rather than merely storing past interactions.

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.

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.

HyperTrace: Hypothesis-Based Preference Tracing for Online LLM Personalization

HyperTrace is a training‑free framework that personalizes large language models by tracing latent user preferences online. It maintains interpretable natural‑language hypotheses about short‑term intent and long‑term preferences, updating them with an SMC‑style reweighting process driven by an LLM‑based surrogate choice model. Experiments on PRISM and PersonaMem‑v2 demonstrate that HyperTrace improves response alignment, preference prediction, and profile consistency compared to strong online baselines.
