Meerkat-VL: Implicit Risk Safety Alignment in Multimodal LLMs via Perceptual Reasoning and Self-Verification

Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed across diverse applications, but they pose significant safety concerns due to cross-modal interactions. To improve model safety awareness, existing methods rely on explicit-risk preference datasets and reinforcement learning guided by safety rewards.…
