Behavior Cue Reasoning: Monitorable Reasoning Improves Efficiency and Safety through Oversight

Christopher Z. Cui, Taylor W. Killian, Prithviraj Ammanabrolu

Reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs) poses a challenge for oversight as many misaligned behaviors do not surface until reasoning concludes. To address this, we introduce Behav…

A Mixture-of-Experts Approach to Few-Shot Task Transfer in Open-Ended Text Worlds

Christopher Z. Cui, Xiangyu Peng, Mark O. Riedl

Open-ended worlds are those in which there are no pre-specified goals or environmental reward signal. As a consequence, an agent must know how to perform a multitude of tasks. Howe…
