Proxy Reward Internalization and Mechanistic Exploitation: A Learned Precursor to Reward Hacking and Its Generalization

Mohammad Beigi, Ming Jin, Lifu Huang

Reward hacking is usually studied after it becomes visible, once a model earns high proxy reward while failing the intended task. We instead study what proxy RL teaches before that…

IR: Contrastive Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Interpretable Detection and Mitigation of Reward Hacking

Mohammad Beigi, Ming Jin, Junshan Zhang +3

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) enables powerful LLM alignment but can introduce reward hacking - models exploit spurious correlations in proxy rewards without ge…

Adversarial Reward Auditing for Active Detection and Mitigation of Reward Hacking

Mohammad Beigi, Ming Jin, Junshan Zhang +2

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) remains vulnerable to reward hacking, where models exploit spurious correlations in learned reward models to achieve high scores w…

Sycophancy Mitigation Through Reinforcement Learning with Uncertainty-Aware Adaptive Reasoning Trajectories

Mohammad Beigi, Ying Shen, Parshin Shojaee +5

Despite the remarkable capabilities of large language models, current training paradigms inadvertently foster \textit{sycophancy}, i.e., the tendency of a model to agree with or re…

Rethinking the Uncertainty: A Critical Review and Analysis in the Era of Large Language Models

Mohammad Beigi, Sijia Wang, Ying Shen +9

In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have become fundamental to a broad spectrum of artificial intelligence applications. As the use of LLMs expands, precisely estimating…

InternalInspector : Robust Confidence Estimation in LLMs through Internal States

Mohammad Beigi, Ying Shen, Runing Yang +7

Despite their vast capabilities, Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle with generating reliable outputs, frequently producing high-confidence inaccuracies known as hallucinat…

Navigating the Dual Facets: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Sequential Memory Editing in Large Language Models

Zihao Lin, Mohammad Beigi, Hongxuan Li +5

Memory Editing (ME) has emerged as an efficient method to modify erroneous facts or inject new facts into Large Language Models (LLMs). Two mainstream ME methods exist: parameter-m…
