TriAlign: Towards Universal Truth Consistency in Personalized LLM Alignment

arXiv:2606. 01755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalized large language models adapt responses to users' preferences and social attributes, but can introduce substantial universal truth inconsistencies across social groups, where some groups systematically receive less accurate responses on objective tasks.

Enhancing LLM Metacognition via Cognitive Pairwise Training

arXiv:2606. 00869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become central to LLM reasoning, but its outcome-level rewards can make models more willing to give confident answers when evidence or reasoning is unreliable.

Closed-Loop Neural Activation Control in Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2606. 00269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models can be steered at test time by intervening on semantically meaningful internal directions, but existing methods use a fixed steering coefficient, effectively operating in open loop.

LLM4Cov: Execution-Aware Agentic Learning for High-coverage Testbench Generation

arXiv:2602. 16953v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Execution-aware LLM agents offer a promising paradigm for learning from tool feedback, but such feedback can be expensive and slow to obtain, making online reinforcement learning (RL) less practical in certain scenarios.
