Bioinfoysis Technical Report

Qingyang Shao, Xin Zhang, Zhouyang Yuan, Xianying Chen, Yujia Xiang

ioinfoysis is a multi-agent system designed for long-horizon bioinformatics tasks. Its core method involves representing requests as persistent, artifact-grounded analysis runs with a global planner that revises steps based on evidence from previous executions. This approach ensures that intermediate results are traceable and prevents the silent reuse of outdated information, a significant contribution for complex, data-intensive bioinformatics workflows.

Representational alignment yields generalizable safety in language models

Lingyu Li, Yan Teng et al.

This paper introduces "representational similarity optimization" to improve LLM safety. Instead of just controlling output, it directly aligns the model's internal representations with human moral judgments. This approach aims to make LLMs more robust to novel…

Rethinking On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models II: One Training Example

Zixuan Fu, Bingxiang He et al.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of on-policy distillation (OPD) for large language models when trained with minimal data. The core method involves distilling knowledge from a teacher model to a student model using only a single training example. The …

Value-Preserving Architectures for Agentic AI Systems

Alessandro Pesare, Tommaso Dolci et al.

This paper proposes that architectural design choices in agentic AI systems can actively promote human-centered values like privacy and fairness, not just functional correctness. The core method involves analyzing how specific architectural elements (coordinat…

Unlocking Lossless Speedups in LLMs via Discrete Diffusion

Subham Sekhar Sahoo, Lingjie Chen et al.

This paper introduces diffusion-augmented LLMs that achieve faster generation by using diffusion to draw multiple tokens in parallel from an autoregressive model's distribution. They decouple model parameters into standard autoregressive weights and lightweigh…

Beyond Shallow Alignment: How Post-Training Methods Determine Refusal Circuits And Steering Robustness

Hoang Cuong Nguyen, Mark Dras et al.

This paper investigates how different post-training methods (supervised fine-tuning, reasoning-augmented fine-tuning, and ORPO) influence the internal mechanisms of language model …
