Researchers have introduced Stratified Inoculation Prompting (SIP), a new technique designed to mitigate undesired behaviors in language models while preserving their intended functionalities. Unlike previous methods, SIP effectively narrows the expression of harmful traits by leveraging a small, clean subset of training data. This approach oversamples these clean examples across diverse contexts, significantly reducing emergent misalignment and improving selective generalization compared to standard Inoculation Prompting (IP). The method also includes extensions like backdoor dilution and password-locked inoculation to further control undesired behavior, even when explicitly prompted. AI
