A focused feed for RLHF, preference data, rater protocols, agent evaluation, and LLM-as-judge research.
Every paper includes structured metadata for quick triage.
To reconcile this trade-off, we introduce RoboPocket, a portable system that enables Robot-Free Instant Policy Iteration using single consumer smartphones.
Safety evaluation and red-teaming of large language models remain predominantly text-centric, and existing frameworks lack the infrastructure to systematically test whether alignment generalizes to audio, image, and video inputs.
We present MUSE (Multimodal Unified Safety Evaluation), an open-source, run-centric platform that integrates automatic cross-modal payload generation, three multi-turn attack algorithms (Crescendo, PAIR, Violent Durian), provider-agnostic…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across diverse natural language tasks, yet the reward models employed for aligning LLMs often encounter challenges of reward hacking, where the approaches predominantly rely on…
Motivated by this consideration, we propose VRM, i.e., Variational Reward Modeling, a novel framework that explicitly models the evaluation process of human preference judgments by incorporating both high-dimensional objective weights and…
Building on this insight, we propose Confidence-Weighted Preference Optimization (CW-PO), a general framework that re-weights training samples by a weak LLM's confidence and can be applied across different preference optimization…
Notably, the model aligned by CW-PO with just 20% of human annotations outperforms the model trained with 100% of annotations under standard DPO.
While LLMs offer strong semantic generalization, deploying them in local-life services introduces three key challenges: lack of geographic grounding, exposure bias in preference optimization, and online inference latency.
Extensive offline evaluations and large-scale online A/B testing demonstrate that LocalSUG improves click-through rate (CTR) by +0.35% and reduces the low/no-result rate by 2.56%, validating its effectiveness in real-world deployment.
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across diverse applications but remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks, where attackers craft prompts that bypass safety alignment and elicit unsafe responses.
We present a winning three-stage system for SemEval 2026 Task~12: Abductive Event Reasoning that combines graph-based retrieval, LLM-driven abductive reasoning with prompt design optimized through reflective prompt evolution, and post-hoc…
Cross-model error analysis across 14 models (7~families) reveals three shared inductive biases: causal chain incompleteness, proximate cause preference, and salience bias, whose cross-family convergence (51\% cause-count reduction)…

Conversational shopping assistants (CSAs) represent a compelling application of agentic AI, but moving from prototype to production reveals two underexplored challenges: how to evaluate multi-turn interactions and how to optimize tightly…
We introduce a multi-faceted evaluation rubric that decomposes end-to-end shopping quality into structured dimensions and develop a calibrated LLM-as-judge pipeline aligned with human annotations.
Long-horizon interactions between users and LLM-based assistants necessitate effective memory management, yet current approaches face challenges in training and evaluation of memory.
To address these gaps, we introduce AMemGym, an interactive environment enabling on-policy evaluation and optimization for memory-driven personalization.
Extensive experiments on both in-domain and out-of-domain reasoning-intensive benchmarks demonstrate that LaSER significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.
DARS incorporates a multi-stage rhythm predictor optimized by contrastive preferences between normal and dysarthric speech, along with a dysarthric-style conditional flow matching mechanism, jointly enhancing temporal rhythm reconstruction…
We report four preregistered studies (1,584 multi-agent simulations across 16 languages and three model families) demonstrating that alignment interventions in large language models produce a structurally analogous phenomenon: surface…
Study 3 (N = 180) tested individuation as countermeasure; individuated agents became the primary source of both pathology and dissociation (DI = +1.120) with conformity above 84%--demonstrating iatrogenesis.
As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to simulate human behaviors, we investigate whether they can simulate demographic misinformation susceptibility, treating beliefs as a primary driving factor.
We study prompt-based conditioning and post-training adaptation, and conduct a multi-fold evaluation using: (i) susceptibility accuracy and (ii) counterfactual demographic sensitivity.
When automating plan generation for a real-world sequential decision problem, the goal is often not to replace the human planner, but to facilitate an iterative reasoning and elicitation process, where the human's role is to guide the AI…
To enable natural interaction with such a system, we present a multi-agent Large Language Model (LLM) architecture that is agnostic to the explanation framework and enables user- and context-dependent interactive explanations.
AI safety via debate and reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF) are both proposed methods for scalable oversight of advanced AI systems, yet no formal framework relates them or characterizes when debate offers an advantage.
When models share identical training corpora, debate reduces to RLAIF-like where a single-agent method recovers the same optimum.
Large Language Model (LLM) personas with explicit specifications of attributes, background, and behavioural tendencies are increasingly used to simulate human conversations for tasks such as user modeling, social reasoning, and behavioural…
Ensuring that persona-grounded simulations faithfully reflect human conversational behaviour is therefore critical.
The rapid proliferation of Claude agent skills has raised the central question of how to effectively leverage, manage, and scale the agent skill ecosystem.
In this paper, we propose AgentSkillOS, the first principled framework for skill selection, orchestration, and ecosystem-level management.
