10.48550/arXiv.2603.28197A framework for adapting LLMs to diverse user preferences by separating stable personal traits from situational factors.
Abstract
Pluralistic alignment is essential for adapting large language models (LLMs) to the diverse preferences of individuals and minority groups. However, existing approaches often mix stable personal traits with episode-specific factors, limiting their ability to generalize across episodes. To address this challenge, we introduce EpiPersona, a framework for explicit persona-episode coupling. EpiPersona first projects noisy preference feedback into a low-dimensional persona space, where similar personas are aggregated into shared discrete codes. This process separates enduring personal characteristics from situational signals without relying on predefined preference dimensions. The inferred persona representation is then coupled with the current episode, enabling episode-aware preference prediction. Extensive experiments show that EpiPersona consistently outperforms the baselines. It achieves notable performance gains in hard episodic-shift scenarios, while remaining effective with sparse preference data.

EpiPersona first projects noisy preference feedback into a low-dimensional persona space, where similar personas are aggregated into shared discrete codes.
Direct description of the method's core mechanism in the abstract and technical overview.
partial
However, existing approaches often mix stable personal traits with episode-specific factors, limiting their ability to generalize across episodes.
Direct statement of limitation in existing methods that motivates the EpiPersona approach.
partial
improving by approximately 3% on the Prism dataset and approximately 3.6% on the Arena dataset.
Specific numeric results provided in the analysis section with clear attribution to the method.
partial
First, retrieving and concatenating historical interactions significantly increases the input length, which poses challenges for effective context utilization by large language models. Second, it tends to focus on localized or recent individual information, potentially overlooking individuals' global and relatively stable preferences.
Direct analysis of limitations in comparison methods that explains EpiPersona's advantages.
