| 2026 | ALPHA: Action-Based Learning for Pluralistic Human Alignment in Large Language ModelsabstractLarge language models are widely used, but aligning them with societal values remains challenging. Current approaches often rely on human annotations, which are hard to scale, or synthetic data produced by models that may themselves be misaligned, making it difficult to capture genuine public opinion. This limits scalability and introduces demographic biases that reduce the representativeness and fairness of model behavior. We introduce a novel approach to pluralistic alignment through behavioral learning, grounded in the psychological principle that actions (behavior) have strong consistency with opinions. Specifically, we present ALPHA50M, a dataset of over 50 million samples derived from 1.5 million real-world advertisements, incorporating rich behavioral signals inferred from demographic engagement patterns. Models trained on this data achieve state-of-the-art zero-shot performance on diverse alignment benchmarks spanning cultural reasoning, political views, and social values. We also propose two new benchmarks: OpinionQA-XL, which covers surveys across 100+ societal topics, and GSS, which evaluates temporal opinion shift modeling over decades. Our results demonstrate that learning from behavioral signals, derived from observed human actions, enables models to align with diverse demographic opinions, capture underlying social and cultural norms, and generalize to new topics and surveys beyond training data. This behavioral learning paradigm offers a scalable and demographically broad alternative to existing alignment techniques.

| 2023 | Parameter Efficient Local Implicit Image Function Network for Face SegmentationabstractFace parsing is defined as the per-pixel labeling of images containing human faces. The labels are defined to identify key facial regions like eyes, lips, nose, hair, etc. In this work, we make use of the structural consistency of the human face to propose a lightweight face-parsing method using a Local Implicit Function network, FP-LIIF. We propose a simple architecture having a convolutional encoder and a pixel MLP decoder that uses 1/26thnumber of parameters compared to the state-of-the-art models and yet matches or outperforms state-of-the-art models on multiple datasets, like CelebAMask-HQ and LaPa. We do not use any pretraining, and compared to other works, our network can also generate segmentation at different resolutions without any changes in the input resolution. This work enables the use of facial segmentation on low-compute or low-bandwidth devices because of its higher FPS and smaller model size. Mausoom Sarkar, Nikitha S.
