The paper introduces Cross‑lingual Ranking Preference Optimization (CRPO), a framework that uses high‑quality English preference data to improve alignment of large language models in other languages. CRPO builds a hierarchical structure over parallel preference pairs, jointly optimizing intra‑ and inter‑lingual preferences and providing a relative ranking signal beyond binary comparisons. Experiments on five languages show consistent gains in instruction‑following and knowledge utilization, with robust performance across different weighting schemes and improved reward margins and log‑probabilities of desirable responses.

arXiv:2605. 11632v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-generated counterfactual explanations (SCEs) are minimally modified inputs (minimality) generated by large language models (LLMs) that flip their own predictions (validity), offering a causally grounded approach to unraveling black-box LLM behavior.

arXiv:2509. 03647v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly serve as automated evaluators, yet they suffer from "self-preference bias": a tendency to favor their own outputs over those of other models.
