Activation Steering for LLM Alignment via a Unified ODE-Based Framework

ICLR 2026poster

Activation steering, or representation engineering, offers a lightweight approach to align large language models (LLMs) by manipulating their internal activations at inference time. However, current methods suffer from two key limitations: \textit{(i)} the lack of a unified theoretical framework for…

ECA: Efficient Continual Alignment for Open-Ended Image-to-Text Generation.

ICML 2026poster

Incremental Learning (IL) for Open-ended Image-to-Text Generation (OpenITG) enables models to continuously generate accurate, contextually relevant text for new images while preserving previously acquired knowledge. Unlike prior studies, this paper addresses a more practical scenario in which the pr…

WestWorld: A Knowledge-Encoded Scalable Trajectory World Model for Diverse Robotic Systems

ICML 2026spotlight

Trajectory world models play a crucial role in robotic dynamics learning, planning, and control. While recent works have explored trajectory world models for diverse robotic systems, they struggle to scale to a large number of distinct system dynamics and overlook domain knowledge of physical struct…
