TL;DR

Human-facing LLMs must address user preferences even in cold-start settings, but current development treats correctness and preference alignment separately. PrefDisco evaluates interactive preference discovery and reasoning adaptation; across 21 frontier models, 29.0% of personalization attempts have worse preference alignment than generic responses. The findings point to personalized reasoning as a capability requiring dedicated development.

Abstract

from arXiv · show

Current large language model (LLM) development treats task-solving and preference-alignment as separate challenges, optimizing first for objective correctness, then for alignment to aggregated human preferences. This paradigm fails in human-facing applications where solving a problem correctly is insufficient if the response mismatches the user's needs. This challenge intensifies in just-in-time scenarios where no prior user interaction history exists due to cold-start conditions or privacy constraints. LLMs need to proactively identify what they don't know about the user, strategically elicit preference values through questioning, then adapt their reasoning processes and responses accordingly -- a complicated chain of cognitive processes which we term personalized reasoning. We introduce PrefDisco, an evaluation methodology that transforms static benchmarks into interactive personalization tasks using psychologically-grounded personas with sparse, context-dependent preferences, and define PrefAlign as a fine-grained rubric-based metric for measuring preference alignment. PrefDisco builds scenarios where identical questions require different reasoning chains depending on user context, as optimal explanation approaches vary by individual expertise and preferences while maintaining factual accuracy. Evaluation of 21 frontier models across 10 tasks reveals 29.0% of naive personalization attempts produce worse preference alignment than generic responses, yet generic responses also fail to serve individual user needs. These findings suggest personalized reasoning requires dedicated development rather than emerging naturally. PrefDisco provides a foundation for developing systems that can adapt to individual users in education, healthcare, and technical domains where personalization is critical.

1 INTRODUCTION

Current LLMs separate task correctness from preference alignment, leaving cold-start users underserved when generic answers miss their needs. PrefDisco turns reasoning benchmarks into interactive personalization assessments, and its evaluation finds that personalization often performs worse than generic responses.

1 INTRODUCTION

  • In cold-start settings, users may be unable to articulate their needs, so models must elicit preferences rather than rely on interaction history or user feedback.This is especially relevant to human-facing tasks where the same problem calls for different reasoning approaches across users.Source: §1 · p. 1
  • PrefDisco transforms existing reasoning benchmarks into interactive assessments using psychologically grounded personas with sparse preferences and strategic questioning.It evaluates preference discovery and response alignment against no-personalization and known-preference baselines.Source: §1 · p. 2
  • 29.0% of personalization attempts produce worse preference alignment than generic responses, while generic responses still fail to address user needs.Evaluation covers 21 frontier models across 10 tasks.Source: §1 · pp. 1–2
  • Mathematical reasoning shows a 3.5% accuracy loss under personalization constraints, while social reasoning shows a 3.1% gain.The introduction reports these domain-specific differences among task types.Source: §1 · pp. 2–3
  • Personalized reasoning requires proactively discovering user preferences and adapting reasoning, while PrefAlign measures response alignment with a fine-grained rubric.The approach is distinguished from static persona consistency and content recommendation.Source: §1 · p. 3

2 PERSONALIZED REASONING

Personalized reasoning is formalized as identifying task-relevant attributes, eliciting user-specific preferences, and adapting responses while jointly requiring correctness and preference alignment.

2.1 IDENTIFYING RELEVANT ATTRIBUTES

  • Personalization begins by identifying the small subset of global response attributes relevant to each user-task pair.Examples include visualization or analogies for a physics explanation; other attributes may be irrelevant in that context.Source: §2.1 · pp. 3–4

2.2 ELICITING PREFERENCE VALUES

  • A preference profile captures each relevant attribute’s preferred value and relative importance, which can vary by user and instance.The model elicits the unobserved profile through sequential choices to ask about an attribute or answer, under limited interaction.Source: §2.2 · p. 4

2.3 ADAPTING RESPONSES AND EVALUATING ALIGNMENT

  • Responses are adapted to inferred priorities, then assessed with attribute-specific rubrics while jointly requiring objective correctness and preference alignment.The benchmark pipeline samples sparse, context-dependent preferences and generates rubrics for evaluation.Source: §2.3 · pp. 4–5, Figure 2 · p. 5

3 PREFDISCO BENCHMARK CONSTRUCTION

PREFDISCO converts static benchmarks into interactive tests of cold-start preference discovery. It combines psychologically grounded personas, sparse contextual preferences, attribute-specific rubrics, and passive user simulation.

Benchmark construction

  • PREFDISCO targets cold-start evaluation by turning static benchmarks into interactive tasks designed to isolate preference discovery.Its construction decomposes personalization into attributes to expose capabilities and failure modes that holistic preference ratings can obscure.Source: §3 · pp. 5–6

Psychologically-Grounded Persona Generation

  • Personas use demographics, Big Five traits, and domain expertise conditioned on the International Personality Item Pool, with rejection sampling for diversity.Consistent persona traits support testing whether models transfer discovered preferences across tasks in a session.Source: §3 · p. 5

Context-Dependent Preference Instantiation

  • Each persona-problem pair receives a sparse, context-dependent preference profile; human validation of attribute labels achieved Fleiss kappa 0.463 and 61.5% accuracy against majority voting.Profiles activate only context-relevant attributes, and weights reflect persona-specific priorities.Source: §3 · p. 6

Evaluation Rubric Generation

  • Attribute-specific rubrics score responses from 1 to 5 across 10K scenarios, enabling fine-grained assessment at a scale considered prohibitively expensive for human annotation alone.Explicit criteria are intended to reduce susceptibility to hallucination and bias relative to an opaque holistic score.Source: §3 · p. 6

User Simulation

  • Passive users answer elicitation questions with minimal information, and the five-turn limit reflects attention constraints; performance curves plateau around 3–5 turns.This setup is intended to isolate model questioning capabilities from user proactiveness and communication style.Source: §3 · p. 6

4 EXPERIMENTS

The experiments test proactive preference discovery across diverse reasoning benchmarks, personas, and controlled evaluation conditions. They compare task-only, interactive-discovery, and oracle settings using preference alignment and task accuracy.

Benchmarks and Models

  • The evaluation spans 10 reasoning benchmarks and 21 frontier models, with 10,000 scenarios and a five-turn interaction limit.Scenarios sample 100 problems per benchmark and assign 10 personas to each problem.Source: §4 · pp. 6–7

Evaluation Conditions

  • Baseline, discovery, and oracle conditions distinguish task-only performance, interactive preference elicitation, and personalization with the full preference profile known upfront.The baseline-to-discovery gap measures interactive discovery performance, while baseline-to-oracle indicates an upper bound on personalization quality.Source: §4 · p. 7

Evaluation Metrics

  • Evaluation pairs preference alignment with original benchmark accuracy, and normalized alignment compares discovery against baseline and oracle performance.The normalized scale assigns 0 to no improvement over baseline and 100 to oracle-matching discovery performance.Source: §4 · p. 7

5 RESULTS

Personalization often worsens preference alignment and task accuracy, with outcomes varying by task and interaction strategy. More questioning correlates with better alignment, but domain-specific accuracy losses persist under controlled interaction lengths.

Preference Discovery Performance

  • MATH and LogiQA show the most degradation, with 10 and 11 of 21 models performing worse, while SocialIQA benefits most from interactive personalization.Claude Opus 4 is reported as most consistently positive, while o3-high exhibits extreme variance.Source: §5 · pp. 7–8
  • 29.0% of model–task combinations show negative normalized alignment, meaning discovery responses align worse than baseline responses without personalization.The score is normalized between baseline and oracle conditions; negative values indicate worse alignment than generic responses.Source: §5 · p. 7, Table 2 · p. 8

Interaction Efficiency and Preference Alignment Tradeoff

  • Question volume correlates positively with alignment (r=0.445, p<0.001), while models average 1.48 questions despite a five-turn allowance.Regression coefficients are Gemini (β=0.474), OpenAI (β=0.379), and Claude (β=0.117).Source: §5 · p. 8, Figure 3 · p. 9

Accuracy-Personalization Trade-off

  • Accuracy falls from Baseline (65.2%) to Oracle (61.8%) to Discovery (60.1%), with AIME losing 12.1% and CommonsenseQA gaining 5.4%.The Baseline-to-Oracle decline occurs without interactive discovery, indicating a cost associated with processing preference constraints.Source: §5 · p. 9
  • Models can fail to solve correctly when required to use a different cognitive toolkit, as reasoning remains tied to pathways reinforced during training.The authors connect this brittleness to reinforcement-learning-optimized reasoning paths that may not accommodate personalization constraints.Source: §5 · p. 9

Question Quality vs. Termination Decision Isolation

  • Under fixed questioning of 2, 4, or 8 questions, math and science tasks remain degraded while social reasoning improves, so the domain pattern is not explained by stopping decisions.The authors interpret this persistence as incompatibility between preference processing and formal reasoning.Source: §5 · p. 9

6 RELATED WORK

Prior personalization benchmarks generally assume known or static preferences, while interactive elicitation work has focused on narrower settings. PrefDisco combines interactive preference discovery with reasoning adaptation across domains.

Static Personalization and Evaluation Benchmarks

  • Existing benchmarks focus on dialogue, recommendations, or multi-session profiling rather than cold-start preference elicitation across reasoning tasks.Prior preference-modeling approaches also do not determine which attributes matter for specific user-task pairs or how to discover them interactively.Source: §6 · p. 10

Interactive Preference Elicitation

  • With fixed interaction lengths, math and science preference alignment is hindered while social reasoning alignment improves.The figure caption describes this as a domain-dependent effect of fixed interaction length.Source: Figure 5 · p. 10
  • GATE and MediQ demonstrate interactive questioning, but target intent understanding or clinical information-seeking rather than adaptive reasoning across diverse domains.PREFDISCO combines interactive preference discovery with adaptation of the model’s cognitive approach.Source: §6 · p. 10

7 DISCUSSION AND FUTURE WORK

The discussion frames personalized reasoning as a distinct capability and reports domain-specific accuracy and alignment failures. PrefDisco offers an evaluation foundation, while the authors identify further research directions and applications.

Discussion

LIMITATIONS

The evaluation covers beneficial personalization but leaves negative effects unexamined. Its simulated interactions and preference scope also limit what it assesses.

Limitations

  • The evaluation excludes over-personalization and sycophancy, including cases where preference agreement could reduce response quality or factual accuracy.It does not assess possible information bubbles or prioritizing agreement over helpful feedback.Source: LIMITATIONS · p. 11
  • Simulated interactions may not capture the complexity of real preference expression, and the framework omits content preferences, preference evolution, and contextual conflicts.The current evaluation focuses on communication preferences.Source: LIMITATIONS · p. 11

ETHICS STATEMENT

The paper flags possible misuse of personalization for manipulation or reinforcing harmful biases, and says its framework does not address when or how personalization should be applied.

ETHICS STATEMENT

  • Personalization could be misused for manipulation or to reinforce harmful biases; the evaluation measures technical capabilities, not when or how personalization should be applied.Future deployments should include safeguards against over-personalization, preserve factual accuracy despite preferences, and disclose how preferences are discovered and applied.Source: ETHICS STATEMENT · p. 11
