CALIBURN: Self-Calibrated LLM Unlearning Alignment

A retention-data-free LLM unlearning method that uses a self-calibrated term to forget targeted knowledge more precisely while preserving general capabilities.

Can Induced Emotion Bias LLM Behaviors in Sequential Decision Making?

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents in high-stakes domains, understanding contextual factors that may modulate their decision-making becomes critical. While LLMs are trained to perceive and resonate with …

HPFA: Hypergraph-Based Paired Failure Attribution for LLM Reasoning

The Last Human-Written Paper: Agent-Native Research Artifacts

A machine-executable format that replaces traditional papers with structured, agent-consumable research artifacts capturing logic, code, exploration, and evidence.

Scaling Textual Gradients via Sampling-Based Momentum

A momentum-based, sampling-driven method for scaling textual gradient optimization in LLM prompt engineering, improving performance and efficiency across diverse NLP tasks.

Reproducing Emotion Vector Part I

An independent reproduction of Anthropic's emotion vector research using the open-weight Llama 3.1 8B model, with the paper's verbatim 171 emotions, 100 topics, and 64 activities. We confirm 10 of 11 verification criteria, with causal steering r=0.956 closely matching the paper's r=0.85.

AD-VF: LLM-Automatic Differentiation Enables Fine-Tuning-Free Robot Planning from Formal Methods Feedback

A framework leveraging formal verification feedback for scalable and interpretable LLM-driven robot planning.

LoX: Low-Rank Extrapolation Robustifies LLM Safety Against Fine-tuning

A training-free method that robustifies LLM safety alignment against fine-tuning by extrapolating low-rank safety subspaces, significantly reducing attack success rates while preserving model utility.

More is Less: The Pitfalls of Multi-Model Synthetic Preference Data in DPO Safety Alignment

A study revealing safety-specific pitfalls of multi-model synthetic preference data in DPO alignment.

GuardAgent: Safeguard LLM Agents by a Guard Agent via Knowledge-Enabled Reasoning

The first automated guardrail for agents.
