Abstract
Simulating heterogeneous individuals with large language models is an active research direction, and heterogeneous user simulation requires models with different characteristics. We study profile construction: given dimensions, items, and scoring rules, build model configurations that can be retrieved by multidimensional target scores. We introduce First-Person Semantic Response Grids (FPSRG). Shared post-training first teaches the model to judge and answer as the participant; self-report and behavioral targets then refine dimension-specific control vectors. With the model frozen, we measure joint scores for vector-coefficient combinations, filter inadmissible configurations, and store the results in a searchable catalog. Per-token configuration routing, continuous batching, and isolated caches support parallel measurement of different profiles. Non-thinking five- and ten-dimensional Qwen instances and a thinking-mode six-dimensional instance following full-parameter post-training of Huihui demonstrate the complete workflow. With matched data, layers, and norms, refinement increases mean five-axis composite control span from 30.75 to 40.45. Within the five-dimensional 25-75 target region, the qualified five-level vector catalog covers 92.2% of fixed targets under per-axis error at most 20 and total error at most 60; combining it with the prompt catalog increases coverage to 98.7%. At a fixed coefficient range, three-, five-, and nine-level catalogs achieve 71.2%, 92.2%, and 94.6% coverage, demonstrating the gains from denser measurement. These results describe measured reachable regions under a fixed assessment protocol. Through shared adaptation, a small set of learned directions, and reusable joint measurements, FPSRG constructs heterogeneous individual configurations without retraining a model for every profile.
