StreamProfileBench: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained User Profile Inference in Real-World Streaming Scenarios
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Large Language Models (LLMs) have reshaped user profiling, yet current evaluations mainly focus on static data snapshots. This paradigm overlooks the reality of personalized systems, where User-Generated Content (UGC) arrives continuously and fine-grained profiles evolve rapidly. To bridge this gap, we introduce StreamProfileBench, a large-scale benchmark for fine-grained streaming user profiling. We formalize streaming user profiling as a continuous state maintenance task and curate a highly authentic dataset comprising over 120,000 UGC posts from 7,000+ real users across five diverse platforms. By leveraging the temporal correlation of user interests, we further propose a novel, annotation-free evaluation framework. Extensive experiments across 14 leading LLMs reveal that continuous profile updating remains an open challenge. Models exhibit a systemic conservative bias, over-retaining past interests while failing to recognize interest decay. Ablation experiments further validate the practical utility and necessity of the streaming paradigm. Data and code are hosted in https://github.com/WaterWang-001/StreamProfileBench.
