Standard sequence-to-sequence decoders must commit to one linear ordering of the output. Yet WHERE conditions can be listed in any order without changing the result, which makes training sensitive to an arbitrary… 2. **[Large Language Model Unlearning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yao-2023-large-language-model-unlearning/)** *(2023 · 174 citations)* The paper treats unlearning as a cheap alignment tool for LLMs. The idea is to make a model drop unwanted behaviour using only negative examples, such as harmful replies found through red teaming or user reports, without the human-written positive answers that RLHF needs.
