Value Drifts: Tracing Value Alignment During LLM Post-Training

arXiv:2510. 26707v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As LLMs occupy an increasingly important role in society, they are more and more confronted with questions that require them not only to draw on their general knowledge but also to align with certain human value systems.

Evolutionary Guided Decoding: Iterative Value Refinement for LLMs

arXiv:2503. 02368v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While guided decoding, especially value-guided methods, has emerged as a cost-effective alternative for controlling language model outputs without re-training models, its effectiveness is limited by the accuracy of the value function.
