1. Is He Extroverted? Identifying Missing Relevant Personas for Faithful User Simulation (2026 · 1 citation)
   User simulators built on LLMs usually take the supplied persona as adequate. When a trait that drives a decision is absent, the simulated answer may be plausible but still wrong. This paper treats that gap as a new task: given a dialogue context and a minimal persona (age, gender, relation to the interlocutor), name…
2. Tracing Multilingual Knowledge Acquisition Dynamics in Domain Adaptation: A Case Study of Biomedical Adaptation (2026 · 1 citation)
   The paper investigates how multilingual LLMs pick up domain knowledge during continual training, and why that knowledge rarely moves from one language to another.
3. Query-Focused Individual Simulation with Progressive Persona Completion (2026)
   LLM-based simulators that predict how a specific person would answer usually rely on detailed profiles, which are rarely available for ordinary people.
