Profile

Per-user LLM inference on transaction histories binds the inference budget linearly to user count, which becomes prohibitive at applied scale. We re-cast attribute inference from per-user to per-transaction-pattern. The pipeline runs in three phases: Resolve abstracts item names with optional web grounding, Profile infers attributes for each frequent pattern, and Tag clusters free-text attributes into a queryable database. In Profile, a single LLM call per pattern emits predefined categorical labels, free-text attributes, and per-attribute prevalence estimates. Because inference runs over patterns rather than users, the budget grows with the pattern count rather than the user count. On the public Open e-commerce corpus, the database is statistically indistinguishable from an LLM that reads each user's raw history directly in AUC across the evaluated attributes, and the prevalence estimates carry discriminative signal between positive and negative users. The pipeline is deployed at a major Japanese bank profiling on the order of tens of millions of users, with close to a three-order-of-magnitude reduction in LLM inference targets versus a per-user pipeline. The code is publicly available on https://github.com/CyberAgentAILab/profiling-agent-open-ecommerce.

In this reproducibility study, we investigate the transparency and scrutability of recommender systems enhanced by incorporating generated natural-language user profiles that represent user preferences. The original paper explores the synthesis of user profiles from raw user-generated review text across domains such as movies and accommodations (Amazon Movies & TV, TripAdvisor). Crucially, these natural-language user profiles enable direct user interaction and intervention, allowing users to customize recommendations by correcting misattributed preferences or addressing cold-start settings. We successfully reproduce the core findings of the original study. Additionally, we extend the evaluation by conducting systematic context ablation experiments, multi-seed stability across five distinct random seeds to establish statistical reliability, and a mechanistic interpretability analysis using the nnsight framework to probe internal model representations under counterfactual profile perturbations. Our findings verify the original paper's claim that User Profile Recommendation (UPR) achieves competitive performance under its test-set reranking protocol and makes recommendations more transparent. Perturbing the natural-language profiles does change predictions, but it shifts predicted ratings uniformly across genres with no detectable genre-selective effect, leaving rankings unchanged even under direct activation steering. We trace this back to the rating-regression objective rather than the profile interface, with ranking-objective models clearly exceeding in this task.

Trochlear dysplasia (TD) is an abnormality of the femoral trochlea associated with anterior knee pain and patellar instability. The sulcus angle (SA) is used to assess trochlear morphology, but it is typically measured on a single axial MR slice with no clear guidance on which to select, making it sensitive to slice selection and landmark placement. We propose an automatic framework for continuous SA profiling from super-resolved MR volumes. Clinically acquired axial, coronal, and sagittal MR scans are combined using implicit neural representations to reconstruct a high-resolution volume. SA measurements are computed across the trochlear region using two landmark detection U-Net models. The approach was evaluated on the public fastMRI dataset and a small in-house cohort of patients with TD. Compared with conventional manual single-slice SA measurements, the proposed automated method yielded a mean absolute error of 11.6$^\circ$ while providing continuous characterization of trochlear morphology. Population-level analysis demonstrated distinct mean SA profiles between the public cohort and the in-house TD cohort, highlighting the potential of profile-based assessment to characterize TD. By reducing reliance on a single manually selected axial slice, the proposed framework extends conventional SA assessment to a continuous profile-based description of trochlear morphology without additional imaging, while remaining conceptually linked to current clinical assessment. Further validation is required. The code is available: https://github.com/wehrlimi/SA_Profile.

Retrieval-augmented personalization enables large language models to produce more accurate and preference-aligned outputs using relevant records retrieved from user histories. Personalized language models typically prepend a fixed number of retrieved user records, even when additional history is redundant, harmful, or unrelated to a user's distinctive behavior. We study minimal sufficient personalization: constructing the least costly ordered profile for each input while preserving the utility achievable from a retrieved candidate pool. We introduce ENOUGH, a method that iteratively appends behavioral records or emits STOP to construct profiles with adaptive lengths. Offline, bounded counterfactual search evaluates profile prefixes by jointly considering downstream gains, user specificity, and token costs. The resulting long-horizon targets are distilled into a multi-head value controller with explicit ranking and stopping supervision. At inference, the controller selects and orders records through lightweight decisions, and the frozen generator is invoked once after stopping. Extensive experiments on six personalized tasks demonstrate that ENOUGH consistently outperforms strong heuristic and retrieval-augmented baselines in both effectiveness and efficiency, achieving minimal sufficient profiles that preserve personalization utility while reducing unnecessary context costs.

Personalized Large Language Models (PLLMs) aim to tailor responses to individual users, where a central challenge is preference reasoning: inferring query-relevant preferences from user-related history. Existing benchmarks, however, largely assume that such preference can be retrieved from semantically related history. We study an underexplored but practically important regime, profile-preference conceptual misalignment (PRCM), where observable profile cues and query-specific preferences lie in different concept spaces, making semantic retrieval inconsistent for personalization. We introduce VIBE-Bench, a benchmark with two psychology-grounded tasks, 3,504 personas and 12,239 dialogues, including a manually verified gold test set, and requires cross-concept preference reasoning beyond surface semantic overlap. Experiments with several personalization methods show that current PLLMs largely rely on shallow semantic correlations and fail to acquire robust cross-concept mappings. These findings establish PRCM as a distinct failure regime in PLLMs and position VIBE-Bench as a focused testbed for advancing preference reasoning beyond semantic matching.

To improve torque capacity and energy efficiency of humanoid ankles, this paper proposes a 2-DoF parallel elastic actuator (PEA). The main novelty of the proposed design lies in its dual-cam, single-gas-spring architecture, which enables torque compensation in both pitch and roll using a shared elastic element, thereby improving structural compactness compared with conventional multi-element compensation schemes. By leveraging parallel gas springs and customized cam modules, the proposed architecture provides dual-axis torque assistance tailored to specific task requirements. The second key contribution is the formulation of a coupled 2-DoF mathematical model that explicitly captures the interdependence between the two compensation units through the shared spring. Based on this model, an optimization-based design framework is developed to synthesize customized cam profiles from prescribed torque references, establishing a systematic link from task requirements to hardware realization. The complete lower-leg CAD integration is presented in detail. Static FEA and kinematic simulations confirm the design's feasibility and torque-relief effectiveness. The results highlight the proposed design as a compact, customizable solution for 2-DoF humanoid ankle torque compensation.

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. We introduce UserToolBench , a benchmark for personalized decision making in tool-use LLMs. UserToolBench tests whether a model can infer latent user preferences from interaction history, recognize when clarification is needed, and produce user-aligned tool-call trajectories under incomplete information. The benchmark is built from privacy-sanitized real interaction traces and combines structured persona profiles, public API-style tool ecosystems, and long-horizon multi-turn trajectories. It includes 10 user profiles, 36 tool sets, 1,065 turns, 170 unique tools, and evaluation-focused task types covering lack-of-information, single-tool, and multi-tool settings. Experiments with strong tool-use LLMs show that current models still have difficulty with personalized delegation. Multi-tool coordination, missing-constraint inference, and long-horizon behavioral consistency remain major bottlenecks. These results suggest that personalization evaluation should move beyond asking whether outputs sound user-specific and instead ask whether LLMs make correct decisions for the users they represent.

LLM applications deployed at scale face a fundamental challenge: privacy constraints prevent direct inspection of user interactions, making it difficult to obtain any representative evaluation dataset or to track the ongoing evolution of production traffic. We present ProxyDrift, a framework that (i) identifies and measures drift between production traffic and offline evaluation sets, and (ii) constructs and refreshes those evaluation sets accordingly; all without access to raw user data. Our approach operates entirely on non-PII proxy representations: structured, multi-dimensional descriptors derived from LLM-based classification of user interactions. We introduce (1) a chance-calibrated, redundancy-aware (RA) alignment score that aggregates per-dimension drift measurements via mutual information; (2) a conditional sampler that generates synthetic proxies respecting inter-dimensional dependencies; (3) a roundtrip consistency analysis that exposes generator/classifier disagreements and guides proxy taxonomy refinement; and (4) a feedback-linkage analysis that ties per-dimension and per-value proxy distributions to user satisfaction, surfacing actionable failure and success modes. Serving hundreds of millions of users, ProxyDrift enables continuous drift monitoring and targeted synthetic data generation without exposing sensitive user data. Experiments confirm strong roundtrip consistency, discriminator-level indistinguishability of synthetic queries from human queries, and tight end-to-end alignment (RA~0.9) with production.

Interpretability methods for large language models (LLMs) describe internal state but do not directly test whether that state is causally sufficient to produce the observed behavior. In earlier work, we lesioned LLMs to produce error profiles in picture naming, a central task for assessing aphasia, and found that specific lesions produced errors resembling those of individual stroke survivors. Here we ask the inverse question: given an error profile, can the lesion parameters that produced it be recovered, and what does this inverse problem reveal about transformer computation? Lesions in LLaVA-Vicuna 13B were parameterized by layer index, modification percentage, and noise sigma across 4,840 configurations, and error profiles were characterized by a seven-category clinical taxonomy (correct, semantic, unrelated, formal, mixed, neologism, no-response). We trained a multi-task neural network to map error profiles back to perturbation parameters. The problem admitted a partial solution: across 10 independently trained inverse models, modification percentage and noise sigma were recoverable, whereas layer index was recoverable only within a neighborhood. In counterfactual validation, a fresh model instance perturbed with the recovered parameters reproduced the target behavior in 81.4% of cases. This dissociation between low layer recovery and high counterfactual fidelity is consistent with functional redundancy across transformer layers, a property not captured by standard interpretability methods. As an out-of-distribution test, we applied the trained model to picture-naming error profiles from 278 stroke survivors; recovered parameters were syndrome-discriminative, most strongly for perturbation intensity, indicating generalization beyond the training distribution. Counterfactual validation provides a general framework for LLM interpretability claims beyond inverse mapping.

Personalized LLMs with persistent memory are increasingly deployed, yet the faithfulness of their user models remains unexamined. We study over-inference (OI): the phenomenon where LLMs fabricate user attributes beyond what evidence supports. We introduce MirageBench, comprising 150 personas balanced across stereotypical, counter-stereotypical, and neutral profiles, 6 personalization tasks spanning an ``imagination gradient'', a four-way faithfulness taxonomy operationalized by an independent judge (validated against a blind human annotator on 400 claims: Cohen's kappa = 0.863 four-class, kappa = 0.900 binary), and a leaderboard of 12 models across 7 families on 143616 judged claims. We find that over-inference is pervasive: every one of the 12 models over-infers 35%--49% of its claims (cross-model mean 41.6%; claim-weighted 41.8%), with no model in this evaluation escaping it. Most strikingly, we surface a Self-Monitoring Inversion: at the model-selection level, models' self-assessed OI is negatively rank-correlated with their judge-measured OI (rho = -0.60, p = 0.044; exploratory, wide bootstrap CI [-0.90, +0.06], n = 12). The models that report the least over-inference tend to be flagged as fabricating the most, so self-reported confidence is a misleading signal for comparing models, even though within a single model self-audit still ranks that model's own claims moderately well (AUROC 0.58--0.83). We further show that OI is task-dependent (27%--59%) and that, in a multi-turn pilot, inferred attributes accumulate approximately linearly with little revision. MirageBench positions external verification, rather than model self-report, as a more reliable foundation for trustworthy personalization.

Recursive self-improvement requires agents to turn accumulated experience into better future behavior. Personal AI agents offer a concrete setting for studying this capability because they retain preferences, task histories, tool routines, and learned skills across sessions. Yet whether retained experience actually improves them over time has not been systematically tested. We introduce PAST-Bench, a benchmark designed to isolate this question. Each agent runs through ordered sequences of fresh-session tasks under matched conditions that turn retained experience on and off. It spans 26 scenarios and 204 episodes across memory, procedural reuse, information gathering, and update. We report both later-task gains and whether those gains follow the intended save, retrieve, and update pathway. Across seven base models and four agent frameworks, improvement is real but uneven across capabilities. Agents with the same headline gain can differ markedly in whether that gain is supported by evidence of the intended pathway. Guided by these findings, we develop Hermes+, which extends Hermes with five targeted interventions across stages of the agent loop. Hermes+ raises the average gain from retained experience and provides clearer pathway evidence, with its strongest improvement on tasks requiring outdated state to be replaced, although the effect remains capability- and model-dependent. Together, PAST-Bench and Hermes+ provide an evaluation and diagnostic foundation for studying how persistent agents can progress from retaining experience to systematically improving through it.

The responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems requires rigorous documentation of their constituent artifacts, e.g., datasets, model weights, training pipelines, and runtime dependencies. Although the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) 3.0 standard introduced native support for AI and dataset profiles, practical tooling capable of generating standards-compliant AI Bills of Materials (AIBoMs) in an automated and extensible manner remains scarce. This paper presents AIGen, a modular AIBoM generator that produces machine-readable, interoperable inventories of AI system components that comply with the SPDX 3.0 AI profile. AIGen works on top of the MLflow MLOps framework and combines mining heuristics with Large Language Models to generate AIBoMs. A plugin interface allows practitioners to extend the tool with domain-specific collectors without modifying the core codebase, supporting heterogeneous AI frameworks such as Hugging Face, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. AIGen is designed to facilitate compliance with the European Union AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and ISO/IEC 42001, providing a concrete, reusable foundation for transparent, accountable AI supply chain governance.

Psychometric calibration for educational tests typically requires costly human response data. Large language models (LLMs) simulated examinees offer a promising route to early calibration, but their responses are too accurate and too uniform. We propose Cognitive Diagnostic Profiling (CDP), a zero-shot framework that prompts LLMs to simulate plausible examinees with diverse cognitive profiles: binary attribute-mastery patterns are rendered as natural-language profiles and sampled under an uninformative or an informative distribution. Using the Tatsuoka fraction-subtraction dataset (536 examinees, 15 items, five attributes), we evaluated eight LLM configurations under no-profile, uninformative-CDP, and informative-CDP conditions, assessing alignment with human examinees at the ability-distribution, mastery-profile, and item-difficulty levels. CDP improved all three levels: distributional overlap rose across configurations; weighted correlations between profile-level scores and human profile expectations reached 0.92 to 0.98; and item-difficulty recovery improved in rank order and absolute alignment, most for reasoning-enabled models; in the strongest case, Gemini 3.0 Flash (Thinking), one-parameter logistic (1PL) difficulty Spearman correlations rose from 0.24 to 0.86 and 0.90 and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) fell from 6.31 to 1.30 and 0.90; the informative condition helped most where profile-level alignment was strong. CDP brings LLM-simulated examinees into closer psychometric alignment with human examinees, making them practical for operational test development.

International recruitment in France requires navigating a layered legal framework absent from existing legal AI benchmarks. We present a publicly available benchmark and first comparative evaluation for this domain, covering permit-type recommendation, required-document retrieval, and legal citation coverage. Comparing a parametric LLM baseline against dense retrieval augmentation at two model scales (Qwen3.5-9B and -27B) on 52 annotated synthetic profiles, we find that retrieval improves administrative guidance at both scales, most notably permit-type accuracy. Our results confirm that retrieval grounding is important for more reliable administrative guidance in this domain, and motivate further investigation of hybrid retrieval strategies.

In capital-markets workflows the question is rarely whether a large language model can produce a fluent draft, but whether the draft is bankable: defensible in front of a counter-party or a regulator, with the documents in hand. Existing methods address parts of that gap: open-domain QA benchmarks reward surface accuracy, and finance benchmarks (FinanceBench, FinQA, ConvFinQA) advance document-grounded and numerical QA but evaluate at the question-answer layer rather than the workflow outputs practitioners defend. We introduce CM-LRS, a Capital Markets LLM Reliability Score, evaluating outputs at the workflow-output layer across seven dimensions: factual accuracy, evidence traceability, numerical consistency, workflow completeness, source discipline, decision usefulness, and reviewability/auditability. Each is scored 0-5 against a rubric anchored on signals reviewers in regulated settings use; the aggregate is tunable to the workflow. We demonstrate CM-LRS on five workflows (DCM transaction-terms extraction, precedent retrieval, issuer profile synthesis, M&A transaction-comparable reasoning, ECM transaction-terms extraction) over public SEC EDGAR filings, a public UK takeover release, and fictional synthetic supplements, scoring four models against four independent LLM judges spanning three model families. Three findings. First, the frontier closed-source models cluster within 0.22 points on four-judge averaged CM-LRS (Sonnet 4.6 = 4.31, Opus 4.7 = 4.30, GPT-5.5 = 4.09); all four judges place the open-weights baseline (Llama 3.3 70B = 3.15) last. Second, that gap concentrates on retrieval (2.23) and synthesis (2.15), not extraction (0.84). Third, Decision Usefulness shows the widest cross-model dispersion of any dimension (4.0 points on issuer profiling) and top-tier inter-judge agreement (mean r = 0.52). Plausibility is cheap. Bankability is the bar.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of generalizing human language for the completion of never-before-seen tasks, leading to widespread deployment. While this automation provides clear utility, completing these tasks often requires the insertion of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), strings of information that uniquely identify some individual, raising privacy concerns. However, ethics has prevented the curation of a public, authentic dataset of PII. Without an appropriate dataset, it is difficult to quantify privacy risks. Thus, we introduce the PANOPTICON pipeline and dataset. The dataset, generated by Meta's Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model, contains 67, 718 prompts, intended for the models context window, containing PII spans derived from 9,674 publicly available synthetic user profiles. We measure lexical diversity and S-BERT diversity of the created dataset to evaluate realism. Finally, we present a case study showcasing the utility of PANOPTICON data for understanding Prompt Inversion Attacks (PIAs). PANOPTICON thus emerges as the first benchmark dataset for studying PIAs over private corpora, providing a foundation for future LLM privacy research.

Large-scale, richly annotated career trajectory data underpins workforce planning, job recommendation, and labour market analysis, yet publicly available datasets are either small, closed to independent use, or built from pre-standardized occupational codes with LLM-synthesized rather than authentic free text. We present JobHopv2, an improved version of the publicly available JobHop dataset, constructed through end-to-end large language model (LLM) extraction from a corpus of ${\sim}440{,}000$ pseudonymized, multilingual resumes provided by VDAB, the Flemish Public Employment Service. The released dataset comprises $355{,}315$ career trajectories annotated with ESCO occupational codes, quarter-level temporal information, and normalized five-level education attainment, broadening both the coverage and the annotation richness of the original release. Relative to v1, JobHopv2 introduces a redesigned extraction pipeline based on reasoning-controlled LLM inference with a retry mechanism (achieving a 100% JSON parse rate), a richer extraction schema, and a revised evaluation protocol scored against three complementary annotation baselines. Evaluated against these baselines, our best extractor comes closest to the inter-annotator agreement ceiling among all compared models, trailing it by only 1.1-2.7 percentage points. The dataset and code are publicly released to support reproducible career-trajectory research.

Social robots are increasingly deployed in clinical settings to support the well-being of children, where effective support must be personalized to each child. Personalization, choosing the robot action best suited to each child, can be framed as a recommendation problem, and a recently proposed recommender-system framework for social robots offers a principled approach through user profiling, ranking, and responsible computing. Instantiating it, however, is blocked not by the model but by the data, which is hard to gather. A child's state shifts within and across visits, so no fixed description of the user holds. Within a session, the few signals of whether the robot's actions helped are weak and indirect. Across sessions, children are rarely seen more than once, and anonymization breaks the identity needed to link visits. Because care cannot be randomized, existing data is observational, biased toward whatever was already done. Each is a familiar recommender-system problem, and we propose four data principles in response: an integrated profile, effectiveness signals, linkable coverage, and an exposure record logged at collection time. We identify which of these principles each capability requires, and frame them as concrete guidelines for data collection.

Privacy is an important challenge when users interact with AI chatbots, since users may share sensitive information, explicitly or implicitly, and AI chatbots can use this information for user profiling. In this paper, we aim to protect user privacy via a user-side mechanism that transforms sensitive information in a user prompt, while preserving enough information to elicit a useful response from the chatbot. This approach faces an inherent tradeoff between protecting privacy (i.e., avoiding profiling) and preserving utility (i.e., getting personalized and task-specific responses). To that end, we consider, evaluate, and compare four different obfuscation actions, namely redaction, abstraction, replacement, and a novel noising/denoising scheme that we introduce. Additional novel insights include: utilizing a data type taxonomy to both identify and obfuscate sensitive information and explicitly taking into account the utility of chat responses in making the obfuscation decision. First, we systematically optimize and evaluate each obfuscation action independently in terms of the privacy-utility tradeoff it achieves. Second, we propose PROMPTPET, an LLM-based agent that selects the best obfuscation action for each sensitive part of the prompt, using a reinforcement-learning inspired rule optimizer, applied for the first time in this context. Using a real-world chat dataset, we show that PROMPTPET matches the best privacy-utility tradeoff attainable by any single obfuscation action and significantly outperforms prior state-of-the-art approaches.

Personalized language-model assistants are often evaluated through a memory lens: can a model recall preferences users have explicitly stated in dialogue? More comprehensive personalization demands a harder capability -- inferring what users care about from the multimodal traces they naturally leave behind. We introduce SocialPersona, a benchmark for evaluating whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can recover revealed preferences from longitudinal social-media timelines and use them in dialogue. Built from longitudinal timelines of 171 everyday, non-promotional social-media users, SocialPersona contains text, images, timestamps, and 2,597 human-verified preference tags across seven interest domains, separating stable interests from recent interests. It supports two tasks: constructing structured user profiles from multimodal context and generating responses aligned with inferred profiles. Experiments with proprietary and open-weight MLLMs show that models can identify broad interest domains, yet their performance drops on fine-grained and recent interests and degrades further when inferred profiles must be used to personalize dialogue. Together with evidence that text and images provide complementary preference signals, these results indicate that robust cross-modal, long-horizon user modeling remains a key challenge, and that SocialPersona can help measure and advance progress toward assistants that infer and act on revealed preferences.

Foundation-model research increasingly needs data about people: user state, personal histories, relationships, contact-like fields, documents, and longitudinal updates. Real user data is difficult to share, perturb, audit, or redistribute responsibly, while independently generated fake fields rarely preserve the cross-field and temporal consistency needed for controlled evaluation. We present PROFILEFOUNDRY, a deterministic generator and fixed reference release of 100,000 adult synthetic Person Objects across eight locales. Each object combines a typed current snapshot, household, family, and employer links, snapshot-aligned events, normalized relational views, and generation provenance. The release contains 709,228 events, 40,338 households, 52,491 employers, and 518,564 directed relationship edges. We report evidence in separate categories: selected population-marginal comparisons, per-object invariant checks, release-wide referential and temporal closure, and coincidence/provenance screens. PROFILEFOUNDRY is not a population-fidelity model, a rendered-text corpus, or a formal privacy mechanism. Instead, it is a responsible synthetic source layer for constructing downstream foundation-model evaluations involving memory, privacy, document understanding, record linkage, and agent state while keeping the synthetic person behind each artifact inspectable

Bringing Large Language Models (LLMs) into industrial ride-hailing dispatch as semantic feature extractors over platform-scale behavioral logs is a compelling but under-explored data systems problem. Production matching pipelines remain dominated by structured numerical features, yet decisive behavioral signals (e.g., a driver's habitual aversion to certain regions) are inherently contextual and naturally expressible as LLM-generated user profiles. However, scaling such profiling to a live, millisecond-latency dispatcher faces three intertwined constraints rarely addressed together: on a platform with millions of daily orders, logs exceed any LLM's context window by orders of magnitude; most users are long-tail, with too few interactions for per-user profiling; and surface-fluent profiles do not necessarily improve downstream prediction utility. We present ProfiLLM, an agentic LLM data pipeline that operationalizes utility-aligned user profiling for production matching systems through two modules. (1) Tool-Augmented Global Knowledge Mining equips an LLM agent with 27 analytical tools to mine platform-scale data, producing reusable global knowledge, adaptive user clustering rules, and region-level supply-demand priors. (2) Utility-Aligned Profile Exploration generates multiple candidate profiles per cluster, evaluates them via a lightweight downstream utility proxy, iteratively refines the best candidates and constructs preference pairs for DPO fine-tuning. Deployed on DiDi's production dispatcher, ProfiLLM achieves up to +6.14% relative AUC improvement in outcome prediction, up to +4.35% GMV gain in dispatching simulation, and consistent improvements in a 14-day online A/B test including +0.47% GMV, +0.33% Completion Rate, and -0.82% Cancel-Before-Accept rate.

As LLM-based shopping agents enter production, existing benchmarks fail to capture how a shopper's requirements arrive: stated implicitly in the query, recorded in a profile, or revealed only when the right question is asked. Benchmarks that expose full intent upfront and grade only the final choice can neither pose this long-horizon challenge nor explain which requirement an agent missed. To address this gap, we introduce EComAgentBench, a benchmark of 662 tasks grounded in real Amazon products and reviews. Each task scatters these requirements across a visible query, a tool-gated profile, and scripted clarification; an agent must uncover hidden intent, verify candidates against attributes and review evidence, and commit to a single product within 100 tool calls. Moreover, typed, source-tagged rubrics grade every task, attributing each failure to a requirement and its source. Construction is automated yet reliable, with every answer fixed in code before any text is generated and every sample validated. Our evaluation of seven models reveals that even the strongest attains only 57.1% overall accuracy, and rubric satisfaction degrades from visible to hidden sources. Overall, we believe EComAgentBench will serve as a reproducible foundation for moving shopping agents from single-query search toward dependable assistance over long horizons.

Longitudinal personal albums are weak-schema multimodal databases: noisy perceptual records whose key facts require joins across faces, text, timestamps, locations, and repeated events. Existing visual, video, document, and lifelog benchmarks test sub-problems, but not album-scale profile reconstruction with social identity binding and evidence citation. Benchmarking this task is difficult because the ground truth needed for evaluation--owner profiles, social graphs, face-name maps, and evidence provenance--is private state that real albums cannot safely release. We introduce PAL-Bench, a controlled benchmark for evidence-grounded reconstruction under a public-record contract. Its Evidence Compiler builds latent private worlds, programs target-level evidence paths, renders album pixels, re-measures them through perception pipelines, and exports audited public/private views. Agents receive only perception-derived public records; targets, identifier maps, and evidence paths remain hidden. PAL-Bench contains 50 synthetic users, 36,659 public photo records, and 2,799 targets over owner facts, identities, and relations. A privacy-preserving audit with 10 participants confirms that PAL-Bench evidence structures match real private albums, though equivalent releases remain privacy-prohibitive. Across seven systems and two compute-matched diagnostics, a seven-metric protocol reveals a gap between plausible profile summarization and faithful social reconstruction: systems recover some owner facts but struggle with recurring identities and evidence citation. PAL-TRACE, a reference framework that freezes identity bindings before owner-fact mining, performs best but leaves hard identity resolution far from solved. PAL-Bench provides a testbed for perceptual entity resolution, multimodal data integration, temporal evidence aggregation, and provenance-aware structured prediction.

Prior work on a social web highlighter located individuality in selection -- which documents a person chooses to highlight -- but measured it cross-sectionally. We ask the temporal question: is a reader's selection signature a trait or a state? We freeze each reader's first six months of highlighting as a profile and track its own-vs-other advantage on their later selections at growing gaps (to 24+ months), with negatives drawn from the same calendar era -- so supply drift cannot masquerade as personal drift -- at a coarse global level and at a fine level whose negatives and controls come from the reader's own interest neighborhood; the anchor cell reproduces the prior cross-sectional level (+0.188 vs +0.169), validating the harness. Four results. Within the same users, the fine-layer advantage shows no statistically detectable paired decline at any horizon (6-12 month retention R = 1.00 [0.85, 1.18], n = 212; the farthest bin is compatible with a modest decline; the only contrast whose interval excludes zero is the coarse layer at 12-24 months, about 13%). The signal is not reducible to repeated domains (~90% survives excluding all profile sources). Within-person drift is slow (a recent-half profile beats the old half by +0.042). Prospectively, personal profiles -- even one built from a reader's earliest documents, median 20 months before evaluation -- rank their next reads at roughly 3x the AP of every simple non-personal prior tested. We use "trait" operationally (a stable signature under continued engagement); the scope is heavy, long-tenured readers of one platform, and exposure is not separable from choice.

As Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities advance, locally deployed personal agents relying on API-based remote models and external skills have emerged as a novel paradigm. With the rapid expansion of available skills, enabling personal agents to learn and adapt to implicit user preferences becomes a critical challenge. However, local deployment constraints preclude complex centralized selection algorithms, creating an urgent need for a lightweight local preference harness. This paper explores the implementation of such a harness through a novel architecture that strictly decouples statistical preference learning from semantic intent parsing. Specifically, we leverage localized statistical results to influence and modulate the selection decisions of the remote LLM. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our decoupled approach achieves the lowest cumulative regret and highest test accuracy, significantly outperforming traditional memory-augmented agents.

Personalizing large language models (LLMs) has become a central challenge as LLMs are deployed across recommendation, search, dialogue, and content generation -- settings where the same query should yield different answers given different users. A promising route is to summarize each user's interaction history into a natural-language memory or profile and prepend it to the prompt to facilitate personalization. Existing methods learn such profile generators with explicit rewards derived from labeled downstream tasks, which are expensive and sparse as they require annotated supervision for every target task. In light of this challenge, we introduce Bidirectional User Modeling via Profiles (BUMP), a self-supervised framework that trains a profile generator without any downstream labels. Specifically, given a user's interaction history, we use GRPO to train an LLM to emit a free-form textual profile under a bidirectional in-batch ranking objective: a small LLM judge measures (i) how well the generated profile, used as a query, ranks the user's own held-out interactions above interactions from other users in the batch, and (ii) how well a held-out interaction, used as a query, ranks the user's own profile above profiles of other users. Both directions are scored with multi-positive NDCG and combined into a dense reward per rollout; other users in the batch supply free negatives, so every training example yields supervision from raw interaction logs alone. Evaluated on the LaMP benchmark, BUMP matches or outperforms closed-source APIs and prior methods relying on labeled rewards, while requiring no task label at training.

Many real-world conversational settings for knowledge discovery, including podcasts, hiring screens, and marketplaces, require a purpose-driven understanding of a person. We study the Next-Best-Question (NBQ) problem: at each turn, an interviewer should ask the question with the highest expected information gain given what has already been learned and the conversation goal. We propose NBQ, a plug-and-play framework that seeds a diverse pool of candidate questions, maintains a compact and continuously updated user state, adaptively selects the next question within a turn budget, and distills the resulting free-form dialogue into a structured vector-based user profile. As a demanding application, we instantiate NBQ for reciprocal matchmaking, where compatibility must be mutual and each person is modeled by both self-description and counterpart-preference representations. To support large-scale matching, we further introduce QuickMatch, an efficient retrieval layer that recasts reciprocal matching from quadratic pairwise scoring to approximate vector search. Experiments show that NBQ improves user profiling quality by up to 13.6% and 14.0% in AC@T and AR@T, respectively, while QuickMatch accelerates retrieval by up to 22.9x with recall up to 0.989.

A key part of developing large language model (LLM)-powered, automated tutoring tools is student simulation, i.e., using LLMs to role-play as students, which can facilitate tutor model evaluation and training. Existing work mostly focuses on within-dialogue simulation, which lacks context on student knowledge and behavior, partly due to not grounding in past student question-answering or dialogue interactions. In this work, we introduce the task of history-conditioned student simulation, where the goal is to accurately predict student dialogue turns by leveraging information in the student's learning history. We propose a two-component framework in which a profile generator summarizes a student's history and a simulator predicts student turns conditioned on the resulting profile. We train both components with reinforcement learning (RL), yielding profiles optimized for faithful student simulation. We evaluate our method and baselines on the first-of-its-kind real-world dataset of student dialogues and question responses that we collect from a math learning platform. Extensive experiments show that our method significantly outperforms baselines, and demonstrate the importance of history, profiles, and RL training.

While LLMs enable personalized chatbots, their effectiveness in child-centered personalization remains unclear, as systematic evaluation of child-specific preferences is still lacking. To address this gap, we introduce ChildEval, a benchmark for evaluating LLMs' ability to infer and follow child-centered preferences in long-context conversations. ChildEval contains 29K synthesized persona profiles of children aged 3-6, providing relatively static background information. Each persona is associated with a child preference-which may align with, conflict with, or be independent of the persona-expressed either explicitly in a single sentence or implicitly through 6-10 turn dialogues. Explicit and implicit preferences are designed to reflect the same underlying preference but differ in expression, capturing dynamic aspects of preference expression rather than changes in the static persona. The benchmark spans five top-level and fourteen sub-level categories covering children's daily lives and development. We further propose fine-grained, child-centric evaluation protocols to systematically assess open-source LLMs. Experimental results demonstrate how different personalized representations affect LLM responses and suggest that finetuning on ChildEval can enhance child-centered performance. Our code and dataset are available at https://github.com/ziyanluo/ChildEval.

LLM agents are governed by long-lived natural-language prompt policies, but individually reasonable standing rules can interact in uninspected ways. We study live intra-policy rule-conflict diagnosis: finding rule pairs inside a single prompt policy that can co-govern a realistic state, and measuring how models resolve that pressure in responses or tool actions. We introduce WIRE, a Witnessed Intra-policy Rule Evaluation pipeline. WIRE extracts source-grounded rules, encodes them as PyRule clauses, uses satisfiability checks to retain same-surface hard-collision candidates, realizes those candidates as concrete co-governance witnesses, and judges model outputs against the original source-rule text. Across six public prompt policies, WIRE extracts 276 source rules and 560 atomic clauses, classifies 30,944 within-policy clause-pair comparisons, retains 170 encoded hard-collision candidate source-rule pairs, and realizes them as 1,402 concrete witnesses. In policy-only evaluation, these witnesses yield 13,335 post- generation trials where both source rules govern and both compliance labels are judgeable. Only 35.4% fall in joint compliance; 64.6% violate at least one governed source rule. These profiles are conditional diagnostics for WIRE-selected candidates, not deployment-frequency or causal excess failure estimates, but they reveal distinct policy, model, and tool-action resolution patterns.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have reshaped user profiling, yet current evaluations mainly focus on static data snapshots. This paradigm overlooks the reality of personalized systems, where User-Generated Content (UGC) arrives continuously and fine-grained profile evolve rapidly. To bridge this gap, we introduce StreamProfileBench, a large-scale benchmark for fine-grained streaming user profiling. We formalize streaming user profiling as a continuous state maintenance task and curate a highly authentic dataset comprising over 120,000 UGC posts from 7,000+ real users across five diverse platforms. By leveraging the temporal correlation of user interests, we further propose a novel, annotation-free evaluation framework. Extensive experiments across 14 leading LLMs reveal that continuous profile updating remains an open challenge. Models exhibit a systemic conservative bias, over-retaining past interests while failing to recognize interest decay. Ablation experiments further validate the practical utility and necessity of the streaming paradigm.

Cognitive distortions, distorted patterns of thinking, have been increasingly studied in computational mental health research. Although they are related to many, if not all, mental health disorders, most existing studies focus primarily on depression. In this work, we explore distortion profiles across multiple mental health conditions. We analyzed a large Reddit-based dataset containing posts from nine self-reported mental health groups as well as a control group using both an n-gram-based method and a fine-tuned transformer model for detecting cognitive distortions. Mental health groups, both when pooled together and when examined individually, showed higher prevalence of cognitive distortions compared to the control group, with the effect sizes ranging from small to moderate. When comparing distortion profiles across conditions, we observed largely similar patterns, although some groups exhibited overall higher levels of distortions than others. These findings suggest that relatively simple lexical approaches can be useful for exploratory analyses of group-level trends in large-scale mental health text data.

The dominant paradigm for AI agents is an "on-the-fly" loop in which agents synthesize plans and execute actions within seconds or minutes in response to user prompts. We argue that this paradigm short-circuits disciplined software engineering (SE) processes -- iterative design, rigorous testing, adversarial evaluation, staged deployment, and more -- that have delivered the (relatively) reliable and secure systems we use today. By focusing on rapid, real-time synthesis, are AI agents effectively delivering users improvised prototypes rather than systems fit for high-stakes scenarios in which users may unwittingly apply them? This paper argues for the need to integrate rigorous SE processes into the agentic loop to produce production-grade, hardened, and deterministically-constrained agent workflows that substantially outperform the potentially brittle and vulnerable results of on-the-fly synthesis. Doing so may require extra compute and time, and if so, we must amortize the cost of rigor through reuse across a broad user community. We envision an AI Workflow Store that consists of hardened and reusable workflows that agents can invoke with far greater reliability and security than improvised tool chains. We outline the research challenges of this vision, which stem from a broader flexibility-robustness tension that we argue requires moving beyond the ``on-the-fly'' paradigm to navigate effectively.

Personalized user understanding from large-scale digital traces remains a fundamental challenge. Traditional user profiling methods rely on discriminative models and manual feature engineering to predict discrete attributes, often producing fragmented and logically inconsistent profiles that generalize poorly to long-tail behaviors. In this work, we study a generative paradigm in which large language models (LLMs) summarize long and noisy behavioral histories into coherent narratives that capture nuanced user evolution. Our experiments show that even strong LLMs remain limited in complex and implicit personalization reasoning. We propose UserGPT, a framework for improving LLM-based persona understanding through both attribute generation and summary generation. To address the scarcity of real-world behavioral data, we develop a User Behavior Simulation Engine that produces realistic and complex user trajectories. We further introduce a Data-Centric Semantization module that transforms heterogeneous behavioral logs into structured and semantically coherent inputs, reducing noise and sparsity. On top of this pipeline, we design a curriculum-driven post-training strategy that combines multi-stage Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with Dual-Filter Group Relative Policy Optimization (DF-GRPO) to strengthen reasoning over long behavioral histories. We also construct HPR-Bench, a benchmark for holistic persona reasoning derived from simulated data. On HPR-Bench, UserGPT achieves an Avg@10 score of 0.7325 on tag prediction and an $Acc_{Ex}$ score of 0.7528 on summary generation, while compressing behavioral records by up to 97.9% with critical information preserved. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of UserGPT for holistic persona reasoning and personalized user-agent interaction.

Personalized systems rely on user representations to connect behavioral history with downstream recommendation applications. Existing methods typically employ either supervised latent user embeddings, which are effective for retrieval but difficult to interpret, or textual user profiles, which are interpretable but challenging to optimize for downstream utility due to lack of direct supervision. To bridge this gap, we present BLUE, a reinforcement learning framework that unifies these two forms of user representation by aligning language-based user profiles with embedding-based recommendation objectives. Given a user interaction history, BLUE leverages a profiler Large Language Model (LLM) to generate textual profiles, while an embedding model provides reward signals. This encourages the resulting textual representations to move closer to positive items and farther from negative ones in the embedding space. We further introduce a text-space supervision signal based on next-item prediction, ensuring the learned profiles remain both semantically meaningful and highly effective for downstream retrieval. Experiments on Amazon Reviews 2023 and Google Local Reviews in zero-shot sequential recommendation settings demonstrate that BLUE consistently outperforms strong baselines under both frozen and trainable embedding conditions. Notably, BLUE achieves clear gains in cross-domain transfer, highlighting the strong generalization ability of the learned user profiles. Furthermore, these generated profiles provide superior personalized context for question answering compared to raw user histories or alternative profile optimization methods. Overall, these results show that BLUE provides an effective way to unify interpretable textual profiling with discriminative latent embeddings for personalization.

The rapid global expansion of artificial intelligence regulation has generated, across multiple jurisdictions, a demand for legal expertise dedicated to AI that the market has addressed in a fragmented manner. Data protection officers extend their remit beyond data protection law; privacy lawyers reposition themselves toward AI; compliance officers add AI chapters to their existing manuals. This paper argues that none of these adaptive responses adequately covers the professional space opened by the emerging global AI regulatory landscape, of which the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) is the most comprehensive instance, alongside the Council of Europe Framework Convention on AI, the United States executive and sectoral framework, and analogous initiatives in the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, China, Japan, Singapore, and beyond. A distinct professional profile is required: the AI Legal Specialist, conceived as a jurist -- understood broadly to encompass any professional with advanced legal training -- operating at the intersection of legal interpretation and AI governance. The profile is juridically autonomous: it derives its existence from the structure of regulatory obligations generated wherever AI is subject to substantive regulation, rather than from any technical standard or the extension of adjacent roles. The paper provides a juridically grounded definition of the profile, argues for its autonomy from adjacent figures and international standards, proposes a reference competence architecture aligned with the European e-Competence Framework (e-CF, EN 16234-1) as a methodological choice, and articulates the conditions for its operational measurement through key performance indicators. The contribution is intended as a foundation for international standardization of the profile and as a reference for practice, curricula, and adoption across jurisdictions.

Automated essay scoring (AES) research often relies on rank-based correlation metrics to validate analytic assessment. However, such metrics obscure both intrinsic intercorrelations among analytic dimensions that arise from the structure of writing proficiency itself and halo effects, whereby holistic impressions bleed into fine-grained component scores. As a result, high correlations may mask a system's true diagnostic behaviour. In this study, we propose a novel self-referential assessment evaluation framework that focuses on identifying intra-learner strengths and weaknesses rather than assessing inter-learner rankings. We conduct experiments on the publicly available ICNALE GRA, a uniquely dense second-language writing dataset annotated holistically and analytically by up to 80 trained raters. To obtain reliable reference scores, we apply two-facet Rasch modelling to calibrate rater severity and derive fair average scores across ten analytic aspects and holistic proficiency. We compare the analytic scoring performance of human operational raters and three large language models (LLMs) in a zero-shot setting. Our results show that LLMs tend to outperform single human raters in identifying relative weaknesses (negative feedback) across several proficiency aspects, while human raters remain stronger at identifying relative strengths (positive feedback). Overall, our findings highlight the limitations of rank-based evaluation for analytic assessment and demonstrate the value of intra-learner, profile-based methods for assessing and deploying LLMs in AES.

Data is a central resource for modern enterprises, and data validation is essential for ensuring the reliability of downstream applications. However, existing automated data unit testing frameworks are largely task-agnostic: they validate datasets without considering the semantics and requirements of the code that consumes the data. We present PrismaDV, a compound AI system that analyzes downstream task code together with dataset profiles to identify data access patterns, infer implicit data assumptions, and generate task-aware executable data unit tests. To further adapt the data unit tests over time to specific datasets and downstream tasks, we propose "Selective Informative Feedback for Task Adaptation" (SIFTA), a prompt-optimization framework that leverages the scarce outcomes from the execution of data unit tests and downstream tasks. We evaluate PrismaDV on two new benchmarks spanning 60 tasks across five datasets, where it consistently outperforms both task-agnostic and task-aware baselines in generating unit tests that reflect the end-to-end impact of data errors. Furthermore, we show that with SIFTA, we can automatically learn prompts for PrismaDV's modules that outperform prompts written by hand or generated from a generic prompt optimizer. We publicly release our benchmarks and prototype implementation.

Sequential recommender systems have achieved significant success in modeling temporal user behavior but remain limited in capturing rich user semantics beyond interaction patterns. Large Language Models (LLMs) present opportunities to enhance user understanding with their reasoning capabilities, yet existing integration approaches create prohibitive inference costs in real time. To address these limitations, we present a novel knowledge distillation method that utilizes textual user profile generated by pre-trained LLMs into sequential recommenders without requiring LLM inference at serving time. The resulting approach maintains the inference efficiency of traditional sequential models while requiring neither architectural modifications nor LLM fine-tuning.

As state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) have become ubiquitous, ensuring equitable performance across diverse demographics is critical. However, it remains unclear whether these disparities arise from the explicitly stated identity itself or from the way identity is signaled. In real-world interactions, users' identity is often conveyed implicitly through a complex combination of various socio-linguistic factors. This study disentangles these signals by employing a factorial design with over 24,000 responses from two open-weight LLMs (Gemma-3-12B and Qwen-3-VL-8B), comparing prompts with explicitly announced user profiles against implicit dialect signals (e.g., AAVE, Singlish) across various sensitive domains. Our results uncover a unique paradox in LLM safety where users achieve better'' performance by sounding like a demographic than by stating they belong to it. Explicit identity prompts activate aggressive safety filters, increasing refusal rates and reducing semantic similarity compared to our reference text for Black users. In contrast, implicit dialect cues trigger a powerful dialect jailbreak,'' reducing refusal probability to near zero while simultaneously achieving a greater level of semantic similarity to the reference texts compared to Standard American English prompts. However, this dialect jailbreak'' introduces a critical safety trade-off regarding content sanitization. We find that current safety alignment techniques are brittle and over-indexed on explicit keywords, creating a bifurcated user experience where standard'' users receive cautious, sanitized information while dialect speakers navigate a less sanitized, more raw, and potentially a more hostile information landscape and highlights a fundamental tension in alignment--between equitable and linguistic diversity--and underscores the need for safety mechanisms that generalize beyond explicit cues.

Clinical personality assessment screens response validity before interpreting substantive scales. LLM evaluation does not. We apply the validity scaling framework from the PAI and MMPI-3 to metacognitive probe data from 20 frontier models across 524 items. Six validity indices are operationalised: L (maintaining confidence on errors), K (betting on errors), F (withdrawing consensus-endorsed items), Fp (withdrawing correct answers), RBS (inverted monitoring), and TRIN (fixed responding). A tiered classification system identifies four models as construct-level invalid and two as elevated. Valid-profile models produce item-sensitive confidence (mean r = .18, 14 of 16 significant). Invalid-profile models do not (mean r = -.20, d = 2.17, p = .001). Chain-of-thought training produces two opposite response distortions. Two latent dimensions account for 94.6% of index variance. Companion papers extract a portable screening protocol (Cacioli, 2026e) and validate it against selective prediction (Cacioli, 2026f).

Fine-tuning adapts pretrained networks to new objectives. Whether the resulting depth profile of representational change reflects an intrinsic property of the model or the magnitude of gradient flow has not been tested directly. We measure this profile across 240 fine-tuning runs spanning 15 models in four architecture families (encoder and decoder transformers, a state-space model, and an RNN) at scales from 125M to 6.9B parameters. Representational change concentrates in output-proximal layers in every standard-training run except one. We apply a per-layer control that equalizes $\|ΔW\|/\|W\|$ across layers after each optimizer step. Under this control, the profile persists in some conditions and collapses in others. At 125M--350M, sequential-block architectures (BERT, OPT, GPT-2) retain the slope across tested objectives while parallel-block architectures (Pythia, CodeGen) retain it only for causal-language-modeling objectives. This architectural distinction narrows at 1.3B--1.4B, where both block types show positive equal-step slopes for CausalLM. Under standard training, profile shape is described by two additional axes: steepness tracks a training-free objective distance at initialization, and profile width is dominated by architecture. We treat the locality gradient, the depthwise slope of representational change, as a composite phenomenon whose components are scale-dependent.

Organisations increasingly outsource privacy-sensitive data transformations to cloud providers, yet no practical mechanism lets the data owner verify that the contracted algorithm was faithfully executed. VeriX-Anon is a multi-layered verification framework for outsourced Target-Driven k-anonymization combining three orthogonal mechanisms: deterministic verification via Merkle-style hashing of an Authenticated Decision Tree, probabilistic verification via Boundary Sentinels and exact-duplicate Twins with cryptographic identifiers, and utility-based verification via Explainable AI fingerprinting that compares SHAP value distributions before and after anonymization using the Wasserstein distance. Across seven cross-domain datasets and four cloud profiles (28 scenarios), against Lazy (drops records), Dumb (fake hash), and Approximate (valid hash) adversaries, VeriX-Anon detects 25 of 28 deviations under a fixed threshold and 27 of 28 once the threshold is calibrated per dataset, with no false alarms. No single layer achieved this alone. The XAI layer was the only mechanism that caught the Approximate adversary, succeeding on six of seven datasets and missing only a high-dimensional case where honest generalization shifts SHAP as much as the attack. Target-Driven anonymization preserved significantly more utility than blind splitting, with mean F1 gaps of +0.058 to +0.362 and Wilcoxon p <= 0.001 on six of seven datasets. Client-side verification completes under one second at one million rows. The threat model covers three empirically evaluated profiles and one theoretical Informed Attacker unable to defeat the cryptographic salt. Sentinel evasion probability ranges from near-zero to 0.82 for the most imbalanced data, which the twin layer offsets in every scenario.

Speaker embeddings, or x-vectors, are widely used to represent speaker identity and speaker-related attributes, but existing embedding extractors are typically descriptive rather than generative: they map an observed speech segment to an x-vector, which is then used for downstream applications. We introduce ProPS, Prompted Profile Synthesis, a framework for generating distributions of speaker embeddings conditioned on natural language prompts such as "a thirties male speaker with an Indian accent". ProPS converts human-written profile descriptions into sentence embeddings and uses a mixture density network trained on a large-scale dataset to predict a Gaussian mixture model in the x-vector space. The model is trained by maximizing the likelihood that real speaker embeddings match the requested profile, and its generated distributions are evaluated by negative log-likelihood on held-out x-vectors and by attribute classification accuracies on sampled synthetic x-vectors. Experiments show that ProPS produces profile-conditioned distributions and generates x-vectors that preserve requested speaker attributes such as age, gender, accent, and prosodic characteristics. This design enables controllable speaker-profile synthesis for speech generation systems like Text-To-Speech (TTS) or Voice Conversion (VC) while anchoring generated distributions in observed speaker-embedding structure.
