AsFT: Anchoring Safety During LLM Fine-Tuning Within Narrow Safety Basin

AAAI 2026technical

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) improves performance but introduces critical safety vulnerabilities: even minimal harmful data can severely compromise safety measures. We observe that perturbations orthogonal to the alignment direction—defined by weight differences between aligned (safe) an

Clipping Bottleneck: Stabilizing RLVR via Stochastic Recovery of Near-Boundary Signals

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a central paradigm for scaling LLM reasoning, yet its optimization often suffers from training instability and suboptimal convergence. Through a systematic dissection of the GRPO-based objective, we reveal that the rigid clipping d…

CoT-lized Diffusion: Let's Reinforce T2I Generation Step-by-step

NeurIPS 2025poster

Current text-to-image (T2I) generation models struggle to align spatial composition with the input text, especially in complex scenes. Even layout-based approaches yield suboptimal spatial control, as their generation process is decoupled from layout planning, making it difficult to refine the layo…
