arXiv:2604. 17299v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Aligning large language models with human preferences must balance two competing goals: responding helpfully to legitimate requests and reliably refusing harmful ones.
arXiv:2608. 13190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Group-robust learning is crucial for maintaining accuracy on rare subpopulations when training-group labels are unavailable.
arXiv:2608. 12373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly used in strategic and advisory contexts, yet their safety alignment is typically evaluated in English only.
