Controllable Safety Alignment: Inference-Time Adaptation to Diverse Safety Requirements

ICLR 2025poster

The current paradigm for safety alignment of large language models (LLMs) follows a _one-size-fits-all_ approach: the model refuses to interact with any content deemed unsafe by the model provider. This approach lacks flexibility in the face of varying social norms across cultures and regions. In ad…

Jailbreak Distillation: Renewable Safety Benchmarking

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly deployed in critical applications, raising urgent needs for robust safety benchmarking. We propose Jailbreak Distillation (JBDistill), a novel benchmark construction framework that “distills” jailbreak attacks into high-quality and easily-updatable safety ben

Persuasiveness of Generated Free-Text Rationales in Subjective Decisions: A Case Study on Pairwise Argument Ranking

EMNLP 2024finding

Generating free-text rationales is among the emergent capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). These rationales have been found to enhance LLM performance across various NLP tasks. Recently, there has been growing interest in using these rationales to provide insights for various important down…

Exploring Multitask Learning for Low-Resource Abstractive Summarization

EMNLP 2021finding

This paper explores the effect of using multitask learning for abstractive summarization in the context of small training corpora. In particular, we incorporate four different tasks (extractive summarization, language modeling, concept detection, and paraphrase detection) both individually and in co…

Mitigating Data Scarceness through Data Synthesis, Augmentation and Curriculum for Abstractive Summarization

EMNLP 2021finding

This paper explores three simple data manipulation techniques (synthesis, augmentation, curriculum) for improving abstractive summarization models without the need for any additional data. We introduce a method of data synthesis with paraphrasing, a data augmentation technique with sample mixing, an…
