Fine-tuning LLMs on essays reduces variance in IPIP-NEO responses across models but does not raise full five-trait profile accuracy above near-chance levels from unguided text.
LLMs organize prompted social roles along a dominant, stable, and causally steerable granularity axis in representation space that runs from micro to macro levels.
Releases M-EDESConv and M-TESC multilingual datasets and introduces MEGUMI model that fuses XLM-RoBERTa with emotion encoders for superior validation timing detection.
