Very proud of our work w @____aakanksha, @aahmadian_, @beyzaermis, @seraphinagt, @KreutzerJulia, @mziizm ✨ Increasingly multi-objective alignment will be paramount for safety. Here, we exhaustively explore multilingual pref alignment to both local🪔⛩️ and global harms 🌐 https://t.co/Fv0iLjxJih
🚨 New paper alert! 🖍️ We investigate how to align multilingual language models on two objectives—perform well overall and avoid harmful outputs—and show that these goals are not in conflict. 🐦 Congratulations @____aakanksha on publishing your first paper as the lead author! https://t.co/hYPjnDgu6B
Is multilingual safety a one-size-fits-all problem? Or are there nuances peculiar to cultures that must be addressed carefully? Excited to share our state-of-the-art alignment efforts that address global and local harms across many languages! 🌍 📝 Paper: https://t.co/ykq4qhzexX https://t.co/YHVndsGXRn
