Dynamic Generation of Personalities with Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit promising performance in emulating human deliberation, underscoring the significance of this research field. While deliberation involves logic and personality, prior studies mainly concentrated on logic, overlooking personality exploration. Here, we introduce Dynamic Personality Generation (DPG), a method utilizing Hypernetworks to dynamically generate personality traits.
