Beyond Owls: Subliminal Learning Can Transfer Learned Capabilities and Backdoors
Jan Dubiński, Anna Sztyber-Betley, Jan Betley +1
In subliminal learning (SL), a teacher model passes on a trait to a student model by distillation on data semantically unrelated to the trait. So far, SL has been demonstrated for…
Value Leakage: An LLM's Answers Are Silently Shaped by Its Own Values
Jan Betley, Johannes Treutlein, Jan Dubiński +5
People use language models for practical questions whose answers are difficult to verify. We show that models exhibit covert value leakage: the information they provide is influenc…
Conditional misalignment: common interventions can hide emergent misalignment behind contextual triggers
Jan Dubiński, Jan Betley, Anna Sztyber-Betley +2
Finetuning a language model can lead to emergent misalignment (EM) [Betley et al., 2025b]. Models trained on a narrow distribution of misaligned behavior generalize to more egregio…
Learning Graph Representation of Agent Diffusers
Youcef Djenouri, Nassim Belmecheri, Tomasz Michalak +3
Diffusion-based generative models have significantly advanced text-to-image synthesis, demonstrating impressive text comprehension and zero-shot generalization. These models refine…
