New method tackles LLM persona overuse in dialogue generation

Researchers have developed a new method called Self-CONtrastive Persona Overuse Suppression (SCONPOS) to address the issue of Large Language Models (LLMs) overusing persona attributes in dialogue generation. This technique intervenes in the LLM's internal representations during prompt encoding to prevent the unnatural incorporation of persona traits regardless of context. To evaluate persona use, a new metric called Persona Appropriateness Score (PAS) has also been introduced, which penalizes both overuse and underuse of persona attributes. AI

IMPACT Improves naturalness and control in LLM-generated conversations by addressing persona overuse.

    Controlling and Assessing Appropriate Persona Use in LLM-based Dialogue Generation

    arXiv:2609.04676v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In persona-based dialogue generation (PDG), LLMs often overuse persona attributes by incorporating them regardless of dialogue context, resulting in unnatural responses. Despite its practical significance, the underlying causes rema…
