Controllable Mathematical Reasoning via Self-Optimizing Thought Vectors

Xuying LI

We present a novel approach for controllable mathematical reasoning that leverages self-optimizing thought vectors with entropy minimization. Our method introduces learnable though…

RECAP: Reproducing Copyrighted Data from LLMs Training with an Agentic Pipeline

André V. Duarte, Xuying li, Bin Zeng +3

If we cannot inspect the training data of a large language model (LLM), how can we ever know what it has seen? We believe the most compelling evidence arises when the model itself…

LatentGuard: Controllable Latent Steering for Robust Refusal of Attacks and Reliable Response Generation

Huizhen Shu, Xuying Li, Zhuo Li

Achieving robust safety alignment in large language models (LLMs) while preserving their utility remains a fundamental challenge. Existing approaches often struggle to balance comp…

The Resurgence of GCG Adversarial Attacks on Large Language Models

Yuting Tan, Xuying Li, Zhuo Li +2

Gradient-based adversarial prompting, such as the Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG) algorithm, has emerged as a powerful method for jailbreaking large language models (LLMs). In thi…

Layer-Wise Perturbations via Sparse Autoencoders for Adversarial Text Generation

Huizhen Shu, Xuying Li, Qirui Wang +3

With the rapid proliferation of Natural Language Processing (NLP), especially Large Language Models (LLMs), generating adversarial examples to jailbreak LLMs remains a key challeng…

Optimizing Safe and Aligned Language Generation: A Multi-Objective GRPO Approach

Xuying Li, Zhuo Li, Yuji Kosuga +1

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values and safety constraints is challenging, especially when objectives like helpfulness, truthfulness, and avoidance of harm conf…
