AISPA: User-Centric System Prompt Auditing for Large Language Model Applications

Xiangning Lin, Shenzhe Zhu, Shu Yang +23

System prompts are instructions configured by developers to govern the behaviors of foundation models in AI applications. They are used throughout commercial AI products, but are r…

Welfare, Improvability, and Variance: A Principal-Agent Approach to Optimal Benchmark Item Aggregation

Andreas Haupt, Justin Hartenstein, Anka Reuel +2

AI benchmarks have well-documented limitations, with prior work examining contamination, saturation, and construct underspecification. Aggregation has received far less attention:…

Reward Bias Substitution: Single-Axis Bias Mitigations Redirect Optimization Pressure

Max Lamparth, Daniel Fein, Andreas Haupt +2

Single-axis mitigations of reward-model biases (e.g., reducing proxy reliance on length, sycophancy, or style) can rotate optimization pressure onto correlated proxies rather than…

General Preference Reinforcement Learning

Muhammad Umer, Muhammad Ahmed Mohsin, Ahsan Bilal +5

Post-training has split large language model (LLM) alignment into two largely disconnected tracks. Online reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards drives emergent reason…

Convex Markov Games: A New Frontier for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Ian Gemp, Andreas Haupt, Luke Marris +2

Behavioral diversity, expert imitation, fairness, safety goals and others give rise to preferences in sequential decision making domains that do not decompose additively across tim…
