Aligned Data Can Induce Misalignment via Context Confusion
Yavuz Bakman, Duygu Nur Yaldiz, Baris Askin +4
Large language models (LLMs) are frequently updated for various use cases, where filtering out misaligned training samples is a common practice for preventing post-update misalignm…
Emergent and Subliminal Misalignment Through the Lens of Data-Mediated Transfer
Baris Askin, Muhammed Ustaomeroglu, Anupam Nayak +3
Fine-tuning LLMs on narrow harmful datasets can induce Emergent Misalignment (EM), where models exhibit misaligned behavior far beyond the fine-tuning distribution. We argue that e…
PubSwap: Public-Data Off-Policy Coordination for Federated RLVR
Anupam Nayak, Baris Askin, Muhammed Ustaomeroglu +2
Reasoning post-training with reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) is typically studied in centralized settings, yet many realistic applications involve decentraliz…
Federate the Router: Learning Language Model Routers with Sparse and Decentralized Evaluations
Baris Askin, Shivam Patel, Anupam Nayak +4
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly accessed as remotely hosted services by edge and enterprise clients that cannot run frontier models locally. Since models vary widely…
Reviving Stale Updates: Data-Free Knowledge Distillation for Asynchronous Federated Learning
Baris Askin, Holger R. Roth, Zhenyu Sun +3
Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data, yet its scalability is limited by synchronization overhead. Asynch…
Internal Planning in Language Models: Characterizing Horizon and Branch Awareness
Muhammed Ustaomeroglu, Baris Askin, Gauri Joshi +2
The extent to which decoder-only language models (LMs) engage in planning, that is, organizing intermediate computations to support coherent long-range generation, remains an impor…
Ravan: Multi-Head Low-Rank Adaptation for Federated Fine-Tuning
Arian Raje, Baris Askin, Divyansh Jhunjhunwala +1
Large language models (LLMs) have not yet effectively leveraged the vast amounts of edge-device data, and federated learning (FL) offers a promising paradigm to collaboratively fin…
Federated Communication-Efficient Multi-Objective Optimization
Baris Askin, Pranay Sharma, Gauri Joshi +1
We study a federated version of multi-objective optimization (MOO), where a single model is trained to optimize multiple objective functions. MOO has been extensively studied in th…
FedAST: Federated Asynchronous Simultaneous Training
Baris Askin, Pranay Sharma, Carlee Joe-Wong +1
Federated Learning (FL) enables edge devices or clients to collaboratively train machine learning (ML) models without sharing their private data. Much of the existing work in FL fo…
DEQ-MPI: A Deep Equilibrium Reconstruction with Learned Consistency for Magnetic Particle Imaging
Alper Güngör, Baris Askin, Damla Alptekin Soydan +3
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) offers unparalleled contrast and resolution for tracing magnetic nanoparticles. A common imaging procedure calibrates a system matrix (SM) that is u…
TranSMS: Transformers for Super-Resolution Calibration in Magnetic Particle Imaging
Alper Güngör, Baris Askin, Damla Alptekin Soydan +3
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) offers exceptional contrast for magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) at high spatio-temporal resolution. A common procedure in MPI starts with a calibration…
