Path Drift in Large Reasoning Models: How First-Person Commitments Override Safety (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on prompt injection and jailbreak attacks primarily target the surface structure of input prompts. |
| Approach: | They propose a three-stage approach to mitigate the risk of Long-CoT reasoning drift . they propose 'path-level defense' strategy that incorporates role attribution correction and metacognitive reflection . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework reduces refusal rates and ethical evaporation, while ethical escalation and layered disclaimers progressively steer models toward unsafe completions. |

| Challenge: | Experiments show that extended generation does not guarantee correctness . a recurring pattern in Long-CoT failures is a problem for large reasoning models . |
| Approach: | They propose a test-time control framework that truncates the trajectory before the trap segment and adaptively restarts decoding. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that TAAR improves reasoning performance without fine-tuning model parameters. |
