GenPT: Beyond Self-Report for Reliable LLM Psychometrics via Generative Projective Testing

Researchers introduce GenPT (Generative Projective Testing), a novel psychometric methodology that uses AI-generated stimuli to assess the psychological states of language models more reliably than traditional self-report questionnaires. The approach mitigates contamination from training data and social-desirability bias, showing significantly greater sensitivity to contextual changes in depression assessment compared to conventional methods.

Consistency Training while Mitigating Obfuscation via Rate Matching

Researchers introduce Rate Matching Consistency Training (RMCT), a novel technique that reduces bias influence in large language models while preserving their ability to acknowledge problematic cues. Unlike traditional consistency training that constrains model behavior across input variations, RMCT matches the rate at which models exhibit target behaviors, improving both robustness and monitorability without requiring paired inputs with/without extraneous features.
