I am a Ph.D. student at the Media Synthesis and Forensics Lab (formerly known as Multimedia Computing Group), Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, advised by Professor Juan Cao and Associate Professor (Researcher) Qiang Sheng.

My research interests include identifying and regulating content generated by large language models (大语言模型时代下的内容安全治理), such as machine-generated texts, toxic content, and fake news.

From Judgment to Interference: Early Stopping LLM Harmful Outputs via Streaming Content Monitoring

Yang Li, Qiang Sheng, Yehan Yang, Xueyao Zhang, Juan Cao

  • Data: We construct FineHarm, a dataset consisting of 29K prompt-response pairs with fine-grained annotations to provide reasonable supervision for token-level training.
  • Model: We propose the Streaming Content Monitor (SCM), which is trained with dual supervision of response- and token-level labels and can follow the output stream of LLM to make a timely judgment of harmfulness.
