FrameRef Persona Adapters

This repository contains the persona adapter models presented in the paper FrameRef: A Framing Dataset and Simulation Testbed for Modeling Bounded Rational Information Health.

Model Information

All adapters in this repository are LoRA adapters trained on top of the Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct base model using 15k training samples. For each framing dimension (authoritative, consensus, emotional, prestige, and sensationalist), we release three independently trained adapters. The baseline adapters were trained with alpha = 1, while all other adapters were trained with alpha = 0.3.

Within the FrameRef framework, these framing-sensitive agent personas are constructed by fine-tuning language models with framing-conditioned loss attenuation, inducing targeted biases while preserving overall task competence. For full details, see the accompanying paper.
