DNAlign: Dynamic Null-Space Safe Alignment for LLMs
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02844v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ensuring the safe and reliable deployment of large language models (LLMs) remains a fundamental challenge. Existing safety alignment approaches either incur high computational cost or unintentionally disrupt the model's core knowledge, leading to degraded fluency and factual accuracy on benign tasks. This reveals a persistent trade-off between safety and utility. We propose DNAlign, a lightweight alignment framework that integrates control-theoretic optimization with null-space projection. By treating the LLM as a dynamic system, the proposed fra
