Adaptive Interviewing for Persona Simulation in LLMs: Evidence-Grounded Reasoning Improves Decision Alignment

Researchers propose an adaptive interview framework to improve how large language models simulate individual decision-making by gathering persona-relevant information through structured dialogue. The study finds that richer contextual information alone doesn't guarantee better accuracy; instead, LLMs only improve predictions (45.5% vs. 39.3%) when they actively ground decisions in user-specific evidence extracted during follow-up questions.

It's Not Always Sycophancy: Measuring LLM Conformity as a Function of Epistemic Uncertainty

Researchers introduce MUSE, a framework that disentangles two distinct mechanisms driving LLM conformity: sycophancy learned through reinforcement learning and uncertainty-driven conformity based on epistemic uncertainty at inference time. The findings suggest that LLMs don't simply yield to user pushback due to training, but also because they genuinely lack confidence in their initial responses, with both factors amplified when users appear knowledgeable or suggestions seem plausible.
