New PAM framework trains policy-aligned moderation filters for LLMs

Researchers have developed a new framework called Policy Aligned Moderation (PAM) designed to train custom moderation filters for large language models. Unlike existing filters that narrowly focus on safety, PAM can be trained on user-defined policies that extend beyond conventional safety objectives. The framework automates the generation of training data, allowing for scalable support of diverse alignment goals and policies specific to applications. PAM-trained filters demonstrate performance comparable to state-of-the-art safety moderation filters and policy reasoning models, while significantly outperforming them on new benchmarks designed to test policy enforcement. AI

IMPACT This framework could enable more nuanced and application-specific content moderation for LLMs, improving their real-world usability and safety.

    PAM: Training Policy-Aligned Moderation Filters at Scale

    arXiv:2505.19766v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to misalignment and jailbreaks, making external safeguards like moderation filters essential, yet existing filters often focus narrowly on safety, falling short of the broader align…
