Safety for Whom? Boundary-Aware Self-Distillation for Controlled LLM Safety Refusal

Alejo López-Ávila, Iker García-Ferrero, Jezabel Garcia +2

Safety alignment is usually posed as a topic-level question: is this subject harmful? Deployments ask a narrower one. A civics tutor and a public-sector assistant may share a base…

Quantization-Aware Healing: A Practical Recipe for Recovering Compressed, 4-Bit LLMs

Bakbergen Ryskulov, Iker García-Ferrero, David Montero +5

Serving large language models cheaply increasingly means shipping models that are both structurally compressed to a fraction of their parameters and quantized to 4 bits. Together t…

Efficient Knowledge Distillation for LLMs: Offline Top-K Logits and a Fused Chunked KL Loss

Bakbergen Ryskulov, Iker García-Ferrero, David Montero +5

Small language models are often the only option for deployment under tight latency, cost, and on-premises constraints, but they are rarely trained from scratch: a compressed model…

Refusal Steering: Fine-grained Control over LLM Refusal Behaviour for Sensitive Topics

Iker García-Ferrero, David Montero, Roman Orus

We introduce Refusal Steering, an inference-time method to exercise fine-grained control over Large Language Models refusal behaviour on politically sensitive topics without retrai…

Instructing Large Language Models for Low-Resource Languages: A Systematic Study for Basque

Oscar Sainz, Naiara Perez, Julen Etxaniz +9

Instructing language models with user intent requires large instruction datasets, which are only available for a limited set of languages. In this paper, we explore alternatives to…

GuideX: Guided Synthetic Data Generation for Zero-Shot Information Extraction

Neil De La Fuente, Oscar Sainz, Iker García-Ferrero +1

Information Extraction (IE) systems are traditionally domain-specific, requiring costly adaptation that involves expert schema design, data annotation, and model training. While La…
