arXiv:2603. 07445v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) often require fine-tuning (FT) to perform well on downstream tasks, but FT can induce safety-alignment drift even when the training dataset contains only benign data.

arXiv:2603. 04198v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are widely used to extract human-interpretable features from neural network activations, but their learned features can vary substantially across random seeds and training choices.

arXiv:2508. 06249v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Fine-tuning lets practitioners repurpose aligned large language models (LLMs) for new domains, yet recent work reveals emergent misalignment (EM): Even a small, domain-specific fine-tune can induce harmful behaviors far outside the target domain.

arXiv:2606. 02837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate translation from Natural Language to First-Order Logic (NL-to-FOL) underpins neurosymbolic AI systems and Natural Language Inference (NLI), making the quality of NL-to-FOL benchmarks essential -- yet these datasets have never been rigorously audited.

Multi-frame medical VQA appears to reward increasingly complex adaptation: controller-style inference, localization-aware reranking, static hard-negative mixing, and staged continuation all appear plausible from first principles. We test a simpler competing hypothesis on MedFrameQA: methods that remain tightly aligned with the benchmark's final answer objective should be the strongest \emph{robust} adaptation family once evaluation is controlled across fixed splits, matched budgets, repeated seeds, and calibration.
arXiv:2606. 12342v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Domain fine-tuning degrades the safety of large language models: fine-tuned specialists readily comply with harmful prompts framed in domain language.
