Reliable language models should resist unsupported user pressure while effectively using objective contextual information. However, models may exhibit sycophancy by yielding to unsupported user pressure or contextual stubbornness by failing to update their answers when relevant contextual information warrants revision. …
Time-series forecasting is widely used in sensitive domains. Models in these settings are often trained on longitudinal user- or entity-level records, which may later require removal because they contain sensitive or proprietary information or have been corrupted by sensor failures. To address such deletion requests wi …
World models learn state evolution from trajectories, making access to temporal context a central training requirement. Federated learning can use distributed records, while ownership boundaries within a trajectory restrict the examples each client can construct. Our study benchmarks this cross-time setting through hou …
Safety monitors help safeguard language-model agents interacting with external tools and environments, but conservative monitoring can generate many false alarms, consuming extensive review resources and weakening trust in alerts. Because false and genuine alarms often remain interleaved in native monitor scores, obtai …
Many localized large language model (LLM) unlearning methods select a small parameter subset from a localization signal and keep it fixed during optimization. The parameters most associated with a target, however, need not be the best ones to update, and candidate interventions can change value as optimization proceeds …
Language-model agents increasingly rely on persistent natural-language skills to adapt beyond their frozen model parameters. When a shared skill is repeatedly revised from a non-stationary, heterogeneous task stream, however, improvements for new tasks can overwrite procedures needed for earlier ones. In continual lear …
