Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in settings where rare but severe harmful generations can have significant consequences. Existing Risk-Averse RLHF addresses this issue by optimizing Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR), but it trains policies for fixed risk levels and therefore cannot adjust the desired degree of risk aversion at inference time. In this paper, we propose risk-conditioned RLHF, a framework that trains a single policy that provides a continuous risk-control interface, enabling users to select different degrees of risk aversion without retraining or deploying multiple risk-specific models. Experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that a single risk-conditioned policy can adapt to different risk levels at inference time, enabling more flexible and risk-aware LLM deployment.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
