Teacher forcing only rewards guessing the immediately next token, so models tend to overfit short-range patterns such as bigrams and neglect longer-range coherence. The authors replace this one-step objective with future n-gram prediction… 2. **[from Benign import Toxic: Jailbreaking the Language Model via Adversarial Metaphors](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yan-2025-benign-import-toxic-jailbreaking-language/)** *(2025 · 12 citations)* The paper argues that black-box jailbreaks which try to extract harmful content from an LLM in a single step are becoming easier to detect, because the malicious intent stays visible in the prompt. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Dayiheng Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dayiheng-liu/) - [Ming Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ming-zhou/) - [Nan Duan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nan-duan/) - [Qi Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qi-li/) - [Ruofei Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruofei-zhang/) - [Weizhen Qi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weizhen-qi/) - [Yeyun Gong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yeyun-gong/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 84 times (of the 140,884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yu-yan/cited-by/).
