  1. Space beats statistics, retraining beats ranking: auditing training labels under label-only backdoors

    Auditing training labels for label-only backdoors, comparing spaces and statistics, and judging by retraining

    Published
    Evaluated models
    ResNet-32
    AbstractLabel inspection must be done in a space that has not been fitted to these labels, and judged by retrained models rather than detection scores.

    The authors ask: can a defender without trusted data decide which training labels to keep, and how much clean data this destroys, and what the final model accuracy is.

    Cancerous backdoor attack: progressive activation via invisible tokens and a stage controller.

    Proposes the Cancerous backdoor, which progressively corrupts reasoning using invisible stage tokens.

    Published
    Evaluated models
    Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3
    AbstractHidden tokens plus a stage controller make the backdoor progressively corrupt reasoning upon triggering, and the authors believe that looking only at the answer will miss it.

    Cancerous Backdoor Attack changes LLM backdoors from one-time activation to multi-stage reasoning corruption that accumulates progressively with triggers.

    Self-Preservation in Language Models

    Proposes Task Bank self-replay to mitigate held-out forgetting in continual instruction tuning

    Published
    Evaluated models
    Qwen3-0.6B, Qwen3-1.7B, Qwen3-4B and others4
    AbstractThe authors claim self-replay can reduce forgetting outside the list, and that on the 4B model new task information helps with target selection, while smaller models do not.

    The authors study how language models, when learning new tasks, can use their own knowledge for broader self-preservation: given an incomplete list and forgetting that extends beyond the list, can the model generate replay and help choose targets.

  5. The researchers found that optimizing the teaching fit metric makes LLM tutors repeat the same option, with expert scores dropping from 4.46 to 3.03

    Analyzing why optimizing teaching adaptation metrics collapses tutoring choices and diverges from expert judgment

    Published
    Evaluated models
    Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Qwen3-32B
    AbstractMetrics rise while expert scores fall: the optimum of the separable average is repetition, and the correction mainly rewrites the output projection.

    After turning teaching adaptation metrics into a fine-tuning objective, the metrics rise while scores from trained educators decline.

    作者研究后训练前如何选择真值标注的查询分布,使重标定后的廉价代理更适合被优化。真奖励昂贵时,实践用 LLM judge 代替人类。若失准只发生在基座很少生成的输出上,on-policy 标注修不到这些点,随后的 KL 正则优化会把质量集中到被高估的输出。
