New framework uses interview data to simulate LLM personalities

Researchers have developed InterviewSim, a novel framework designed to improve the simulation of real personalities using large language models. This framework grounds LLM generation in authentic personal data by extracting over 671,000 question-answer pairs from 23,000 interview transcripts of 1,000 public figures. InterviewSim employs a multi-dimensional evaluation system that assesses content similarity, factual consistency, personality alignment, and factual knowledge retention. The study found that grounding LLM outputs in interview data significantly enhances content alignment and factual recall compared to using biographical profiles or parametric prompting. AI

IMPACT This framework could lead to more realistic and nuanced AI-driven character simulations for applications like virtual assistants and entertainment.

    InterviewSim: A Scalable Framework for Interview-Grounded Personality Simulation

    arXiv:2602.20294v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Simulating real personalities with large language models requires grounding generation in authentic personal data. Existing evaluation approaches rely on demographic surveys, personality questionnaires, or short AI-led int…
