CURP: Codebook-based Continuous User Representation for Personalized Generation with LLMs

arXiv:2602.00742v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: User modeling characterizes individuals through their preferences and behavioral patterns to enable personalized simulation and generation with Large Language Models (LLMs) in contemporary approaches. However, existing methods, whether prompt-based or training-based methods, face challenges in balancing personalization quality against computational and data efficiency. We propose a novel framework CURP, which employs a bidirectional user encoder and a discrete prototype codebook to extract multi-dimensional user traits. This design enables pl
