Researchers have developed SyRuP, a novel framework designed to enhance how Large Language Models (LLMs) adhere to system prompts during the decoding phase. Unlike methods requiring model fine-tuning or response reranking, SyRuP operates at inference time by training a cross-attention reward head. This head uses system-prompt-conditioned preference pairs to generate token-level adherence scores. At inference, SyRuP combines the base LM's logits with this learned reward signal to rerank candidate responses, demonstrating consistent outperformance over existing prompting and decoding-time baselines with minimal overhead.
