abstract
User modeling characterizes individuals through their preferences and behavioral patterns to enable personalized simulation and generation with Large Language Models (LLMs) in contemporary approaches. However, existing methods, whether prompt-based or training-based methods, face challenges in balancing personalization quality against computational and data efficiency. We propose a novel framework CURP, which employs a bidirectional user encoder and a discrete prototype codebook to extract multi-dimensional user traits. This design enables plug-and-play personalization with a small number of trainable parameters (about 20M parameters, about 0.2\% of the total model size). Through extensive experiments on variant generation tasks, we show that CURP achieves superior performance and generalization compared to strong baselines, while offering better interpretability and scalability.
