arXiv:2510. 01167v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Aligning large language models to human preferences is inherently multidimensional, yet most pipelines collapse heterogeneous signals into a single objective.
Swiss-Knife is a framework that extends decode‑time alignment for frozen language models by treating the alignment specification as a runtime object. It introduces hot‑swappable scoring blades, a batch normaliser, a pairwise aggregation operator, and a selection rule, and characterises admissible aggregation operators with a representation theorem. In experiments, Swiss‑Knife paired with DPO‑LoRA blades and an uncertainty‑aware pairwise tournament outperforms six existing decode‑time methods, achieving a higher harmonic F1 score, lower refusal rate, and faster objective reconfiguration.
arXiv:2606. 07705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) is central to aligning large language models with complex human preferences, the prevailing practice of static weighted summation overlooks a more fundamental phenomenon: reward learning is markedly asynchronous across objectives.
arXiv:2606. 05613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) has established cross-lingual versatility as a defining feature of modern systems.

arXiv:2603. 00910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Layer-wise capacity in large language models is highly non-uniform: some layers contribute disproportionately to loss reduction, whereas others are nearly redundant.
