QA‐LIGN: Aligning LLMs through Constitutionally Decomposed QA

EMNLP 2025

Alignment of large language models (LLMs) with principles like helpfulness, honesty, and harmlessness typically relies on scalar rewards that obscure which objectives drive the training signal. We introduce QA-LIGN, which decomposes monolithic rewards into interpretable principle-specific evaluation

SysCaps: Language Interfaces for Simulation Surrogates of Complex Systems

ICLR 2025poster

Surrogate models are used to predict the behavior of complex energy systems that are too expensive to simulate with traditional numerical methods. Our work introduces the use of language descriptions, which we call "system captions" or SysCaps, to interface with such surrogates. We argue that inte…

ToW: Thoughts of Words Improve Reasoning in Large Language Models

NAACL 2025long

We introduce thoughts of words (ToW), a novel training-time data-augmentation method for next-word prediction. ToW views next-word prediction as a core reasoning task and injects fine-grained thoughts explaining what the next word should be and how it is related to the previous contexts in pre-train…
