摘要:

安全对部署大型语言模型(LLMs)在现实应用中至关重要,但大多数现有方法依赖于大规模人工标注数据集和静态红队基准测试,这些方法成本高、难以扩展且难以适应模型行为的变化。此外,过于保守的安全机制可能会通过拒绝敏感但合法的查询来降低模型的实用性。我们引入了Self-MOA(Self Multi-Objective Alignment),一种利用自动评估器模型进行弱监督对齐的小型语言模型的全自动框架。Self-MOA operates as a closed loop that dynamically generates model-specific red team prompts, constructs preference data from model-generated responses, and aligns models via multi-objective preference optimization to jointly optimize for safety and helpfulness. Across multiple small language models and safety benchmarks, Self-MOA achieves a 12.41% improvement in safety while preserving helpfulness, using as little as 11 times less training data than human-supervised alignment baselines. These results demonstrate that adaptive, automated alignment can reduce the dependence on static, human-curated safety pipelines in resource-constrained settings.

英文摘要:

Safety alignment is critical for deploying large language models (LLMs) in real-world applications, yet most existing approaches rely on large human-annotated datasets and static red-teaming benchmarks that are costly, difficult to scale, and slow to adapt to evolving model behaviors. Moreover, overly conservative safety mechanisms can reduce model usefulness by rejecting sensitive but legitimate queries. We introduce Self-MOA (Self Multi-Objective Alignment), a fully automated framework for aligning small language models using weak supervision from automated evaluator models. Self-MOA operates as a closed loop that dynamically generates model-specific red team prompts, constructs preference data from model-generated responses, and aligns models via multi-objective preference optimization to jointly optimize for safety and helpfulness. Across multiple small language models and safety benchmarks, Self-MOA achieves a 12.41\% improvement in safety while preserving helpfulness, using as little as 11 times less training data than human-supervised alignment baselines. These results demonstrate that adaptive, automated alignment can reduce the dependence on static, human-curated safety pipelines in resource-constrained settings.
