User simulation is increasingly vital to develop and evaluate recommender systems (RSs). While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising avenues to simulate user behavior, they often struggle with the absence of specific task alignment…
System prompts - instructions that shape the behaviour of generative AI systems - strongly influence system outputs and users' experiences. They define the model's guidelines, `personality', and guardrails, taking precedence over user…
Commit messages are explanations of changes made to a codebase that are stored in version control systems. They help developers understand the codebase as it evolves. However, writing commit messages can be tedious and inconsistent among…
The primary goal of Motivational Interviewing (MI) is to help clients build their own motivation for behavioral change. To support this in dialogue systems, it is essential to guide large language models (LLMs) to generate counselor…
