SafeCap: Improving LVLM Safety with Image Captioning Reinforcement Learning

Caoyuan Ma, Wenpu Liu, Weichu Xie +12

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks that exploit visual inputs to bypass safety alignment inherited from their language backbones. We propos…

Leveraging Error Diversity in Group Rollouts for Reinforcement Learning

Wenpu Liu, Yuqi Xu, Weichu Xie +8

Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) typically samples multiple responses per prompt and assigns binary rewards based on individual correctness, yet the collective…

Uncertainty Under the Curve: A Sequence-Level Entropy Area Metric for Reasoning LLM

Yongfu Zhu, Lin Sun, Guangxiang Zhao +2

In this work, we introduce Entropy Area Score (EAS), a simple yet effective metric to quantify uncertainty in the answer generation process of reasoning large language models (LLMs…
