StreamProfileBench: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained User Profile Inference in Real-World Streaming Scenarios

arXiv:2605.25758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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 profile 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.
