I am currently a master’s student at the School of Computer Science and Technology, East China Normal University, under the supervision of Professor Linlin Wang. My primary collaborator, Ph.D. Xin Yi, has provided me with invaluable guidance and support throughout my studies. Prior to this, I earned my BEng degree from Xiangtan University, where I was mentored by Associate Professor Xuan Lin.

My research focuses on the safety of large language models (including multi-modal large language models), and I am very interested in the internals of safety alignment of large language models.

Hierarchical Safety Realignment: Lightweight Restoration of Safety in Pruned Large Vision-Language Models \ Yue Li^*, Xin Yi^*, Dongsheng Shi, Gerard de Melo, Xiaoling Wang and Linlin Wang^†.

• The current pruning methods will lead to a significant degradation of the model’s safety at a higher sparsity.
• The HSR (Hierarchical Safety Realignment) method we proposed can achieve safety realignment for the pruned model by restoring only a very small number of neurons. HSR is effective for both LLM and LVLM.
