Value Leakage: An LLM's Answers Are Silently Shaped by Its Own Values
Jan Betley, Johannes Treutlein, Jan DubiÅski +7
The paper identifies and measures covert value leakage, where large language models let their own values subtly bias answers without informing users, and introduces evaluation suit…
Think Fast: Estimating No-CoT Task-Completion Time Horizons of Frontier AI Models
Dewi Gould, Francis Rhys Ward, Anders Cairns Woodruff +18
Many efforts to ensure frontier AI models are safe rely on monitoring their chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning. If models become able to perform sufficiently complex reasoning intern…
Negation Neglect: When models fail to learn negations in training
Harry Mayne, Lev McKinney, Jan DubiÅski +3
We introduce Negation Neglect, where finetuning LLMs on documents that flag a claim as false makes them believe the claim is true. For example, models are finetuned on documents th…
LINGOLY-TOO: Disentangling Reasoning from Knowledge with Templatised Orthographic Obfuscation
Jude Khouja, Lingyi Yang, Karolina Korgul +6
Frontier language models demonstrate increasing ability at solving reasoning problems, but their performance is often inflated by circumventing reasoning and instead relying on the…
A Positive Case for Faithfulness: LLM Self-Explanations Help Predict Model Behavior
Harry Mayne, Justin Singh Kang, Dewi Gould +3
LLM self-explanations are often presented as a promising tool for AI oversight, yet their faithfulness to the model's true reasoning process is poorly understood. Existing faithful…
Measuring what Matters: Construct Validity in Large Language Model Benchmarks
Andrew M. Bean, Ryan Othniel Kearns, Angelika Romanou +39
Evaluating large language models (LLMs) is crucial for both assessing their capabilities and identifying safety or robustness issues prior to deployment. Reliably measuring abstrac…
