This follow-up to an episode on user modeling highlights a discussion with CongJie Pan about personalization and where the field should go next.
- The core argument is that much of today’s research still stops at style-level personalization.
- The discussion pushes toward richer user models that go beyond surface preferences.
- It also connects personalization to pluralistic value alignment, suggesting that systems should account for different user values rather than flattening them into one profile.
