Know You Before You Speak: User-State Modeling for LLM Personalization in Multi-Turn Conversation 文章

arXiv:2605.24647v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalized dialogue requires more than recalling explicit user histories: systems also need to infer hidden user states that evolve through interaction and shape appropriate response strategies. Existing memory- and profile-based methods primarily reuse observable user information, offering limited support for modeling user-state dynamics or selecting actions based on how they shape future user states. We propose PUMA (Prospective User-state Modeling for Action selection), a framework grounded in the Free Energy Principle (FEP) that formulates personalization as decision-making under partial observability, centered on an explicit user state model that captures latent user states and their action-conditioned dynamics.
