arXiv:2606. 03810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Consistency training encourages a model to produce similar outputs across related inputs or sampling procedures.
By David Demitri Africa, Arathi Mani
Consistency training encourages a model to produce similar outputs across related inputs or sampling procedures. Such methods are simple, scalable, and largely label-free, but their effects on model alignment remain poorly understood.
arXiv:2607. 03528v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as critical decision-making components in high-stakes real-world AI systems, rendering LLM reliability a foremost practical concern.

arXiv:2606. 19549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) makes it cheap to train many domain- and task-specific language model adapters, but whether two adapters can be merged is usually discovered only after both have been fully trained and evaluated.

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.

arXiv:2501. 19060v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs), such as CLIP, adapt effectively to downstream tasks through prompt tuning, but fine-tuning can misalign predictive confidence and accuracy, particularly on unseen classes.
