Research & Papers

1. Jailbreak-Zero: A Path to Pareto Optimal Red Teaming for Large Language Models

arXiv:2601.03265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces Jailbreak-Zero, a novel red teaming methodology that shifts the paradigm of Large Language Model (LLM) safety evaluation from a constrained example-based approach to a more expansive and effective policy-based framework. By ...

8. JPU: Bridging Jailbreak Defense and Unlearning via On-Policy Path Rectification

arXiv:2601.03005v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite extensive safety alignment, Large Language Models (LLMs) often fail against jailbreak attacks. While machine unlearning has emerged as a promising defense by erasing specific harmful parameters, current methods remain vulnerable to divers...
