Do LLMs hallucinate randomly? Not quite.

Our #ACL2025 (Main) paper shows that hallucinations under irrelevant contexts follow a systematic failure mode — revealing how LLMs generalize using abstract classes + context cues, albeit unreliably.

Retrievers need to be aligned too! 🚨🚨🚨

The potential for malicious misuse of LLM agents is a serious threat.

That's why we created SafeArena, a safety benchmark for web agents. See the thread and our paper for details: arxiv.org/abs/2503.04957 👇

📢New Paper Alert!🚀

Human alignment balances social expectations, economic incentives, and legal frameworks. What if LLM alignment worked the same way?🤔

Our latest work explores how social, economic, and contractual alignment can address incomplete contracts in LLM alignment🧵
