Openly licensed collections such as HH-RLHF, Open Assistant and HelpSteer have aged, and sets distilled from GPT-4 and similar proprietary systems carry commercial-use restrictions. The NVIDIA authors address this gap with… 2. **[HelpSteer: Multi-attribute Helpfulness Dataset for SteerLM](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2024-helpsteer-multi-attribute-helpfulness-dataset/)** *(2024 · 72 citations)* Open helpfulness preference datasets usually give only an overall rating or a pairwise ranking. They do not say why one answer is better, so trained models can pick up shallow cues, such as preferring longer replies whether or not they are useful. The NVIDIA team built HelpSteer to address this. It is a… 3. **[AEGIS2.0: A Diverse AI Safety Dataset and Risks Taxonomy for Alignment of LLM Guardrails](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ghosh-2025-aegis2-0-diverse-ai-safety/)** *(2025 · 53 citations)* Content moderation for LLMs needs openly licensed, human-labeled training data that covers many kinds of harm. ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[NeMo Guardrails: A Toolkit for Controllable and Safe LLM Applications with Programmable Rails ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.emnlp-demo.40/) Proceedings of the 2023 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: System Demonstrations · no summary yet**Traian Rebedea et al.*2023 · 199 citations* 2.
