New benchmark RealPref tests LLM long-horizon preference following

Researchers have introduced RealPref, a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well large language models (LLMs) can follow user preferences over extended interactions. The benchmark includes synthetic user profiles, personalized preferences, and long-horizon interaction histories, with varying types of preference expression from explicit to implicit. Initial results show a significant drop in LLM performance as context length increases and preferences become more implicit, highlighting challenges in generalizing user understanding to unseen scenarios. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could drive development of more personalized and adaptive AI assistants by highlighting current limitations in long-term preference following.

    Towards Natural Personalization: Evaluating Long-Horizon Preference Following in Personalized User-LLM Interactions

    arXiv:2603.04191v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly serving as personal assistants, where users may share individual preferences over extended interactions. However, assessing how well LLMs can follow these preferences in natural, lon…
