Axiom Satisfiability of Linear Rewards in Alignment

Learning from human preference data is the dominant route to aligning language models with human values. In linear social choice, where rewards are linear in a fixed feature representation of prompt-response pairs, Ge et al.[2024] show that fitting such a reward by minimizing any non-decreasing convex loss, including B...

Instruction Distillation: Text Instructions as Visual Examples

Instruction Distillation is proposed: an offline procedure in which the MLLM itself generates, for each individual training image, a structured identification instruction encoding general appearance cues, features that differentiate the class from visually similar ones, and a common confusion point.

Price of Fairness in Bandits: A Tight Minimax Characterization

This work introduces UCB-HARE (Harmonic Anchored Rank Exploration), which replaces uniform exploration with an inverse-weighted harmonic rank schedule protected by a certified positive-mean anchor, and proves an algorithm-independent lower bound of $\sigma(\sigma\sqrt{k^{\max(1,q)}/T})$; for $q>1$, this shows that the...

Privacy Without Regret: Differentially Private Inference-Time Alignment

Private Inference-Time Pessimism (PrivITP) is introduced, which combines $\chi^2$-regularized rejection sampling with a two-phase Gaussian mechanism, and achieves ex-post $(\epsilon,\delta)$-DP with a privacy cost independent of the number of responses, cleanly decouples the regularization parameter from the privacy pa...
