New dataset reveals language models are state-blind, ignoring user context

Researchers have introduced Chameleon, a dataset of 5,001 contextual psychological profiles derived from 1,667 Reddit users, designed to capture user state and trait across multiple interaction contexts. Their findings indicate that user behavior is predominantly influenced by state (74%) rather than trait (26%). The study also revealed that current large language models are state-blind, focusing solely on user traits and failing to adapt responses to the current interaction context. Furthermore, reward models exhibit inconsistent reactions to user state, sometimes favoring and other times penalizing the same users. AI

    Beyond Fixed Psychological Personas: State Beats Trait, but Language Models are State-Blind
