From Interpretability to Control: Insights from Six Years of the TrustNLP Workshop
Rahul Gupta, Abhinav Mohanty, Anaelia Ovalle +10
The Workshop on Trustworthy Natural Language Processing (TrustNLP), co-located with major ACL conferences since 2021, has grown from 8 proceedings papers to 41 over six editions, d…
SWAN: Semantic Watermarking with Abstract Meaning Representation
Ziping Ye, Gourab Dey, Christos Christodoulopoulos +7
We introduce SWAN (Semantic Watermarking with Abstract Meaning Representation), a novel framework that embeds watermark signatures into the semantic structure of a sentence using A…
RouteLMT: Learned Sample Routing for Hybrid LLM Translation Deployment
Yingfeng Luo, Hongyu Liu, Dingyang Lin +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance in Machine Translation (MT), but deploying them at scale remains prohibitively expensive. A widely adopted remedy…
Emergent Strategic Reasoning Risks in AI: A Taxonomy-Driven Evaluation Framework
Tharindu Kumarage, Lisa Bauer, Yao Ma +7
As reasoning capacity and deployment scope grow in tandem, large language models (LLMs) gain the capacity to engage in behaviors that serve their own objectives, a class of risks w…
From Narrow Unlearning to Emergent Misalignment: Causes, Consequences, and Containment in LLMs
Erum Mushtaq, Anil Ramakrishna, Satyapriya Krishna +5
Recent work has shown that fine-tuning on insecure code data can trigger an emergent misalignment (EMA) phenomenon, where models generate malicious responses even to prompts unrela…
BLUR: A Bi-Level Optimization Approach for LLM Unlearning
Hadi Reisizadeh, Jinghan Jia, Zhiqi Bu +6
Enabling large language models (LLMs) to unlearn knowledge and capabilities acquired during training has proven vital for ensuring compliance with data regulations and promoting et…
Towards Safety Reasoning in LLMs: AI-agentic Deliberation for Policy-embedded CoT Data Creation
Tharindu Kumarage, Ninareh Mehrabi, Anil Ramakrishna +6
Safety reasoning is a recent paradigm where LLMs reason over safety policies before generating responses, thereby mitigating limitations in existing safety measures such as over-re…
SemEval-2025 Task 4: Unlearning sensitive content from Large Language Models
Anil Ramakrishna, Yixin Wan, Xiaomeng Jin +6
We introduce SemEval-2025 Task 4: unlearning sensitive content from Large Language Models (LLMs). The task features 3 subtasks for LLM unlearning spanning different use cases: (1)…
LUME: LLM Unlearning with Multitask Evaluations
Anil Ramakrishna, Yixin Wan, Xiaomeng Jin +6
Unlearning aims to remove copyrighted, sensitive, or private content from large language models (LLMs) without a full retraining. In this work, we develop a multi-task unlearning b…
K-Edit: Language Model Editing with Contextual Knowledge Awareness
Elan Markowitz, Anil Ramakrishna, Ninareh Mehrabi +4
As the world changes, we need to be able to update our models and correct false information without costly retraining. Knowledge-based model editing enables precise modifications t…
Attribute Controlled Fine-tuning for Large Language Models: A Case Study on Detoxification
Tao Meng, Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal +6
We propose a constraint learning schema for fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) with attribute control. Given a training corpus and control criteria formulated as a sequence-l…
Data Advisor: Dynamic Data Curation for Safety Alignment of Large Language Models
Fei Wang, Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal +3
Data is a crucial element in large language model (LLM) alignment. Recent studies have explored using LLMs for efficient data collection. However, LLM-generated data often suffers…
Unlearning as multi-task optimization: A normalized gradient difference approach with an adaptive learning rate
Zhiqi Bu, Xiaomeng Jin, Bhanukiran Vinzamuri +4
Machine unlearning has been used to remove unwanted knowledge acquired by large language models (LLMs). In this paper, we examine machine unlearning from an optimization perspectiv…
Tree-of-Traversals: A Zero-Shot Reasoning Algorithm for Augmenting Black-box Language Models with Knowledge Graphs
Elan Markowitz, Anil Ramakrishna, Jwala Dhamala +5
Knowledge graphs (KGs) complement Large Language Models (LLMs) by providing reliable, structured, domain-specific, and up-to-date external knowledge. However, KGs and LLMs are ofte…
Tokenization Matters: Navigating Data-Scarce Tokenization for Gender Inclusive Language Technologies
Anaelia Ovalle, Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal +6
Gender-inclusive NLP research has documented the harmful limitations of gender binary-centric large language models (LLM), such as the inability to correctly use gender-diverse Eng…
JAB: Joint Adversarial Prompting and Belief Augmentation
Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal, Anil Ramakrishna +6
With the recent surge of language models in different applications, attention to safety and robustness of these models has gained significant importance. Here we introduce a joint…
On the steerability of large language models toward data-driven personas
Junyi Li, Ninareh Mehrabi, Charith Peris +5
Large language models (LLMs) are known to generate biased responses where the opinions of certain groups and populations are underrepresented. Here, we present a novel approach to…
Is the Elephant Flying? Resolving Ambiguities in Text-to-Image Generative Models
Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal, Apurv Verma +7
Natural language often contains ambiguities that can lead to misinterpretation and miscommunication. While humans can handle ambiguities effectively by asking clarifying questions…
