LLM Deep Safety Alignment (BEACON)
First Author · Targeting ICLR 2027 (CCF-A) · 2025–Present
Quantified a belief-behavior gap where internal probes detect harmful intent with >95% accuracy, yet model compliance surges from <2% to >50% as prefix length grows. Proposed BEACON: token-wise consistency losses that cut adversarial attack success from >50% to ≤5% across four models and up to 3,000-token prefixes.S³: Suppressing Method-Specific Shortcuts for Generalizable Deepfake Detection
First Author · ACM MM 2026 (CCF-A, Under Review) · 2025–2026
Identified that trained detectors classify forgery method rather than forgery presence — a shortcut making OOD collapse structurally inevitable. Designed NSP (gradient projection) and NAE (plug-in inference module); cross-domain AUC gains exceed 10× in-domain cost across four backbones.NeVA: Controllable Value Alignment in LLMs via Neuron-Level Editing
Co-first Author · WWW 2026 (CCF-A, Under Review) · 2026
Locates and edits sparse neuron subsets governing specific value outputs in LLMs/LVLMs for fine-grained alignment without parameter updates.CLEAR: Null-Space Projection for Cross-Modal De-Redundancy in Multimodal Recommendation
Co-first Author · AAAI (CCF-A, Submitting) · 2025–2026
Cross-modal redundancy removal via null-space projection of dominant covariance subspace — plug-and-play, no auxiliary loss.
