The whole story of the comfort women, the system of forced sexual slavery, the medical experiments of Unit 731, is not something that is in the US psyche. That is changing because many books are coming out. — Iris Chang 39 items · 3 sections

Null-Space Constrained Low-Rank Adaptation for Response-Specified Large Language Model Unlearning

Bocheng Ju, Jianhua Wang, Chengliang Liu, Xiaolin Chang

his paper introduces Null-Space Constrained Response-Specified Unlearning (NSRU), a method for unlearning specific knowledge from large language models while preserving general capabilities. NSRU achieves this by projecting low-rank adaptation updates into the null space of learned "retain" subspaces, ensuring that modifications are localized and do not disrupt benign knowledge. The core contribution is a projection-constrained framework that enables precise control over unlearning by specifying safe target responses and confining updates to preserve existing functionalities.

Motivation and core intuition of NSRU. (a) Suppression-only unlearning penalizes the undesired response y − y^{-} but leaves the safe replacement behavior unspecified and can induce under-constrained updates that perturb retained behavior. (b) NSRU specifies a safe target response y + y^{+} , explicitly suppresses y − y^{-} , and uses projected LoRA updates that act through retain-orthogonal components, redirecting forget queries while reducing retain-side interference.

ReasonAlloc: Hierarchical Decoding-Time KV Cache Budget Allocation for Reasoning Models

Wenhao Liu, Hao Shi et al.

ReasonAlloc addresses the KV cache bottleneck in LLM reasoning by dynamically allocating its budget. It uses a hierarchical approach: an offline strategy identifies an architecture-driven "Reasoning Wave" of demand across layers, and an online strategy realloc…

Role-Agent: Bootstrapping LLM Agents via Dual-Role Evolution

Xucong Wang, Ziyu Ma et al.

Role-Agent addresses LLM agent limitations by using a single LLM as both agent and environment for bootstrapped co-evolution. It employs World-In-Agent (WIA) for environment-aware reasoning via state prediction rewards, and Agent-In-World (AIW) to refine train…

(a): Static environments provide sparse and non-specific feedback that limits the agent’s exploration; (b): Synthetic environments incur high labor and runtime costs; (c): The proposed Role-Agent enables one model to switch roles between agent and environment to achieve bootstrapped co-evolution.
