Optimal Transport for Reward Modeling from Noisy Feedback

ICML 2026poster

Reward models are fundamental to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), yet real-world datasets are inevitably corrupted by noisy preference. Conventional training objectives tend to overfit these errors, while existing denoising approaches often rely on homogeneous noise assumptions tha…

BPO: Towards Balanced Preference Optimization between Knowledge Breadth and Depth in Alignment

NAACL 2025long

Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) is the key to the success of large language models (LLMs) in recent years. In this work, we first introduce the concepts of knowledge breadth and knowledge depth, which measure the comprehensiveness and depth of an LLM or knowledge source respectivel…

Understanding and Mitigating Overrefusal in LLMs from an Unveiling Perspective of Safety Decision Boundary

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across a wide range of tasks, yet they often refuse to answer legitimate queries—a phenomenon known as overrefusal. Overrefusal typically stems from over-conservative safety alignment, causing models to treat many reasonable prom

Can LLMs Learn from Previous Mistakes? Investigating LLMs’ Errors to Boost for Reasoning

ACL 2024long

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated striking reasoning capability. Recent works have shown the benefits to LLMs from fine-tuning golden-standard Chain-of-Thought (CoT) rationales or using them as correct examples in few-shot prompting. While humans can indeed imitate correct examples, lea…

ToxicChat: Unveiling Hidden Challenges of Toxicity Detection in Real-World User-AI Conversation

EMNLP 2023short findings

Despite remarkable advances that large language models have achieved in chatbots nowadays, maintaining a non-toxic user-AI interactive environment has become increasingly critical nowadays. However, previous efforts in toxicity detection have been mostly based on benchmarks derived from social media…
