VISA: Value Injection via Shielded Adaptation for Personalized LLM Alignment

arXiv:2603.04822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with nuanced human values remains a critical challenge, as existing methods like Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) often handle only coarse-grained attributes. In practice, fine-tuning LLMs on task-specific datasets to optimize value alignment inevitably incurs an alignment tax: the model's pre-calibrated value system drifts significantly due to latent bias absorption from training data, while
