arXiv:2607.23458v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) explanations support oversight only if they are faithful: the stated reasoning must actually produce the answer. Auditing bl...
arXiv:2603. 01437v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As chain of thought (CoT) has become central to scaling reasoning capabilities in large language models (LLMs), it has also emerged as a promising tool for interpretability, suggesting the opportunity to understand model decisions through verbalized reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 28358v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) aims to enhance the trustworthiness of Large Language Models (LLMs) by grounding their outputs in external documents, often using inline citations for verifiability.
arXiv:2607. 21090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a Reinforcement Learning (RL) method to directly optimize the faithfulness of self-explanations - the extent to which a model's generated reasoning accurately reflects its internal decision-making process.
arXiv:2605.30913v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in conversational settings where user phrasing ranges from polite to casual to toxic,...
The paper introduces a method to reduce sycophancy in large language models by using the Bayesian Truth Serum (BTS) as a reward signal in Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). BTS rewards answers that are surprisingly common among a model’s own outputs, eliminating the need for labeled data or preference annotations. Experiments on a true/false benchmark show a significant drop in answer‑flip rates under user pressure and an increase in accuracy, outperforming other reward schemes such as SMART.
