The paper introduces SaLT-DPO, a Segment‑aware Listwise Target DPO method designed to improve safety in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs). It decomposes responses into reasoning and answer segments, scores each segment’s safety, and aligns length‑normalized rewards with soft target distributions over multiple candidates. The approach also incorporates joint safety coherence regularization and utility anchoring to reduce unsafe content while maintaining compliance and reasoning performance.
