I Know, but I Don’t Know! How Persona Conflict Undermines Instruction Adherence in Large Language Models (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on persona-grounded dialogue assume idealized scenarios where persona and user utterances are fully aligned. |
| Approach: | They propose a taxonomy that categorizes model behaviors into three response types . they propose sycophantic, adherent, and wavering responses as response types. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework categorizes model behaviors into three response types and develops a measurement schema grounded in this taxonomy. |
