We propose Token-Level Off-Policy Labeling (TOPL), an off-policy training paradigm that reframes post-training as a token-level correctness prediction task. Our key intuition is that by training the model to distinguish good and bad tokens in a response, we naturally guide the model towards generating good tokens, while avoiding the pitfalls that come with directly training the model to generate off-policy tokens.

arXiv:2607. 19361v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most safety guardrails for large language models (LLMs) evaluate each prompt-response pair in isolation, which misses failures that arise only over a dialogue as benign turns compose into harm.

Test-time adaptation (TTA) can mitigate domain shift without source data, but it is highly brittle under adversarially contaminated test streams, where corrupted inputs also destabilize online updates. We study robust test-time adaptation (RTTA) in the adversarial-stream setting, which remains comparatively underexplored relative to standard TTA, and propose SAFER (Stochastic Augmentation Framework for Enhanced Robustness), a training-free reliability-guided augmentation wrapper for RTTA.
