Adversarial Reinforcement Learning for Robust Diffusion Large Language Model Unlearning

ICML 2026poster

Diffusion language models (DLMs) have recently emerged as an alternative to autoregressive approaches, enabling parallel sequence generation and flexible token generation orders. Machine unlearning plays a critical role in mitigating legal and ethical risks by removing the influence of specific trai…

Bradley-Terry and Multi-Objective Reward Modeling Are Complementary

ICLR 2026poster

Reward models trained on human preference data have demonstrated strong effectiveness in aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human intent under the framework of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). However, RLHF remains vulnerable to reward hacking, where the policy exploits imp…

ENCORE: Entropy-guided Reward Composition for Multi-head Safety Reward Models

AAAI 2026technical

The safety alignment of large language models (LLMs) often relies on reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), which requires human annotations to construct preference datasets. Given the challenge of assigning overall quality scores to data, recent works increasingly adopt fine-grained rat

Multiplayer Nash Preference Optimization

ICLR 2026oral

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as the standard paradigm for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, reward-based methods built on the Bradley–Terry assumption struggle to capture the non-transitive and heterogeneous nature of real-world p…

Selection of LLM Fine-Tuning Data Based on Orthogonal Rules

AAAI 2026technical

High-quality training data is critical to the performance of large language models (LLMs). Recent work has explored using LLMs to rate and select data based on a small set of human-designed criteria (rules), but these approaches often rely heavily on heuristics, lack principled metrics for rule eval

Semantic Volume: Quantifying and Detecting Both External and Internal Uncertainty in LLMs

AAAI 2026technical

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across diverse tasks by encoding vast amounts of factual knowledge. However, they are still prone to hallucinations, generating incorrect or misleading information, often accompanied by high uncertainty. Existing methods for hallu

Style-GRPO: Semantic-Aware Preference Optimization for Image Style Transfer Guided by Reward Modeling

CVPR 2026

Recent progress in text-to-image generation has greatly advanced visual fidelity and creativity, but it has also imposed higher demands on prompt complexity--particularly in encoding intricate spatial relationships. In such cases, achieving satisfactory results often requires multiple sampling attem

Unlocking the Power of Multi-Agent LLM for Reasoning: From Lazy Agents to Deliberation

ICLR 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) trained with reinforcement learning and verifiable rewards have achieved strong results on complex reasoning tasks. Recent work extends this paradigm to a multi-agent setting, where a meta-thinking agent proposes plans and monitors progress while a reasoning agent execut…

CARES: Comprehensive Evaluation of Safety and Adversarial Robustness in Medical LLMs

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in medical contexts, raising critical concerns about safety, alignment, and susceptibility to adversarial manipulation. While prior benchmarks assess model refusal capabilities for harmful prompts, they often lack clinical specificity, graded ha…

Catastrophic Failure of LLM Unlearning via Quantization

ICLR 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable proficiency in generating text, benefiting from extensive training on vast textual corpora. However, LLMs may also acquire unwanted behaviors from the diverse and sensitive nature of their training data, which can include copyrighted and private con…

ReNeg: Learning Negative Embedding with Reward Guidance

CVPR 2025highlight

In text-to-image (T2I) generation applications, negative embeddings have proven to be a simple yet effective approach for enhancing generation quality. Typically, these negative embeddings are derived from user-defined negative prompts, which, while being functional, are not necessarily optimal. In…

RuleAdapter: Dynamic Rules for training Safety Reward Models in RLHF

ICML 2025poster

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is widely used to align models with human preferences, particularly to enhance the safety of responses generated by LLMs. This method traditionally relies on choosing preferred responses from response pairs. However, due to variations in human opinio…

When Thinking Fails: The Pitfalls of Reasoning for Instruction-Following in LLMs

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Reasoning-enhanced large language models (RLLMs), whether explicitly trained for reasoning or prompted via chain-of-thought (CoT), have achieved state-of-the-art performance on many complex reasoning tasks. However, we uncover a surprising and previously overlooked phenomenon: explicit CoT reasoning…
