On-Policy Self-Evolution via Failure Trajectories for Agentic Safety Alignment
Bo Yin, Qi Li, Xinchao Wang
Tool-using LLM agents fail through trajectories rather than only final responses, as they may execute unsafe tool calls, follow injected instructions, comply with harmful requests,…
Vision-Language-Action Safety: Threats, Challenges, Evaluations, and Mechanisms
Qi Li, Bo Yin, Weiqi Huang +6
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are emerging as a unified substrate for embodied intelligence. This shift raises a new class of safety challenges, stemming from the embodied na…
Refinement Provenance Inference: Detecting LLM-Refined Training Prompts from Model Behavior
Bo Yin, Qi Li, Runpeng Yu +1
Instruction tuning increasingly relies on LLM-based prompt refinement, where prompts in the training corpus are selectively rewritten by an external refiner to improve clarity and…
Don't Forget the Nonlinearity: Unlocking Activation Functions in Efficient Fine-Tuning
Bo Yin, Xingyi Yang, Xinchao Wang
Existing parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods primarily adapt weight matrices while keeping activation functions fixed. We introduce \textbf{NoRA}, the first PEFT framewo…
