arXiv:2604. 17301v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Detecting harmful content in multi turn dialogue requires reasoning over the full conversational context rather than isolated utterances.

arXiv:2604. 09544v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) undergo alignment training to avoid harmful behaviors, yet the resulting safeguards remain brittle: jailbreaks routinely bypass them, and fine-tuning on narrow domains can induce ``emergent misalignment'' that generalizes broadly.

arXiv:2606. 02423v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can serve as helpful assistants, yet they can equally function as harm amplifiers that enable malicious users to achieve harmful outcomes beyond their capabilities through extended interactions.

arXiv:2601. 14340v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as multi-turn assistants and customized through instruction tuning with project-specific training components.

arXiv:2606. 18852v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classifying implicit hate speech remains a challenge, as intent is often masked through insinuation and context rather than explicit slurs.

Large language models increasingly stream long, reasoning-intensive responses in real time, making when to moderate as critical as whether to moderate. Existing guardrails fall into two unsatisfactory extremes: response-level methods delay intervention until the full output is generated, whereas token-level methods act on incomplete semantics, often producing unstable decisions and excessive guard invocations.
arXiv:2603. 15684v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safety alignment in large language models is typically evaluated under isolated queries, yet real-world use is inherently multi-turn.

arXiv:2606. 10380v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world crisis intervention is inherently conversational, yet existing research largely focuses on static texts.

arXiv:2511. 19517v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-turn conversational attacks, which leverage psychological principles like Foot-in-the-Door (FITD), where a small initial request paves the way for a more significant one, to bypass safety alignments, pose a persistent threat to Large Language Models (LLMs).

The paper presents an instruction‑tuned large language model (LLM) based on Qwen3 that is fine‑tuned for hate speech mitigation by unifying 36 English hate speech datasets. The authors show that this generalist LLM achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on in‑domain benchmarks and delivers significant gains in cross‑domain and cross‑lingual generalization, outperforming specialist encoder‑based classifiers.

The paper introduces Paraesthesia, a dynamic backdoor attack that uses emotionally styled inputs as triggers for large language models. By mapping target emotions into a valence–arousal space and rewriting a small subset of clean samples, the attack achieves over 98% success while minimally affecting clean performance. Experiments on four major LLMs show that the trigger cannot be fully explained by token-level cues and remains robust against several filtering and mitigation techniques.
