PersonalityDBench: A Dataset for Personality Disorders - from Modeling to Controlled Generation (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Personality disorders are chronic, rigid patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotions that deviate from cultural norms and persist in social settings. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale, clinically grounded dataset that supports multidimensional study of personality pathology and standardized evaluation of LLM steering toward clinically ground behavioral targets. |
| Outcome: | The PersonalityDBench dataset supports multidimensional study of personality pathology and evaluation of LLM steering toward clinically grounded behavioral targets. |

| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in human-centered applications, yet their ability to model diverse psychological constructs is not well understood. |
| Approach: | They evaluated a range of Transformer-LMs to predict psychological variables across five major dimensions: affect, substance use, mental health, sociodemographics, and personality. |
| Outcome: | The models predict affect, substance use, mental health, sociodemographics, and personality across five major dimensions. |
