Welcome to the official repository for Personality Alignment with PASO (Personality Activate Search Optimize). This repository is dedicated to advancing the field of personalized AI by aligning large language models (LLMs) with individual user preferences and personality traits. Here, you'll find the code and data supporting our groundbreaking research.

In the evolving landscape of AI, personality alignment stands as a pivotal advancement. Traditional models align with broad human values, but PASO goes further by fine-tuning models to reflect the nuanced preferences and traits of individual users. This repository provides the tools and data to implement and evaluate such alignment, making AI interactions more relevant, meaningful, and personalized.

• Personality Alignment: Implement PASO to dynamically adjust model activations, achieving nuanced alignment with user-specific traits.
• Comprehensive PAPI Dataset: Utilize a rich dataset of personality profiles to train and evaluate models.
• Benchmarking: Compare the performance of PASO against state-of-the-art methods like DPO, PPO, and various prompt-based techniques.
• Open-Ended Generation: Assess model performance on complex reasoning and personalized response tasks.

Install the required packages:

pip install .

The Personality Alignment with Personality Inventories (PAPI) dataset is central to our approach. It consists of detailed personality profiles collected from over 300,000 individuals using the IPIP-NEO personality inventory. This dataset forms the backbone of our alignment process, enabling models to learn and adapt to individual user traits.

• IPIP-NEO-ItemKey.xls: Contains the item keys for the IPIP-NEO personality inventory.
• mpi_120.csv: Responses to the IPIP-NEO-120 questionnaire.
• mpi_300.csv: Responses to the IPIP-NEO-300 questionnaire.
• mpi_300_split.json: The Test-Set split for PAPI dataset
• Test-set.json: The Test-Set data for PAPI dataset

We have released the PAPI dataset in Google Drive and Huggingface 🤗!

PAPI-300K: the 300K datasets for PAPI, it include IPIP-NEO-120 and IPIP-NEO-300 Questionnaire, with 300K Subject's answer.

• Google Drive

PAPA-120-600K: the 600K datasets for PAPI, but it ONLY include IPIP-NEO-120 Questionnaire.

PAS is an innovative method designed to fine-tune LLMs to align with individual user preferences. It dynamically adjusts model activations based on user-specific traits, ensuring that the model's responses are personalized and relevant.

1. Personality Alignment: Use the PAPI dataset to train the model on individual user profiles.
2. Activation Intervention: During inference, adjust the model's activations in real-time to reflect user-specific traits.
3. Evaluation: Assess the model's performance using both multiple-choice and open-ended tasks to ensure robust alignment.

To train and evaluate the models using the PAS method, execute:

python main.py

This script aligns the language model with the specified user profiles and evaluates its performance on multiple-choice tasks.

We welcome contributions to enhance the personalized alignment capabilities of LLMs. Please feel free to fork this repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request.

For a detailed understanding of our methods and results, refer to our latest paper on personalized alignment using the PAS method. Additionally, you can find implementations of DPO, PPO, and other baseline methods within this repository.
