1. Refining Input Guardrails: Enhancing LLM-as-a-Judge Efficiency Through Chain-of-Thought Fine-Tuning and Alignment (2025 · 9 citations)
   Conversational assistants built on LLMs need an input filter that catches fraudulent requests, illegal-activity requests and jailbreak attempts before they reach the main agent.
2. SMARTER: A Data-efficient Framework to Improve Toxicity Detection with Explanation via Self-augmenting Large Language Models (2026 · 1 citation)
   SMARTER is a two-stage framework for toxicity detection in low-data settings. It aims to make LLM-based moderation both accurate and explainable. Two open-source models, COT-T5-XL and Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, are first primed through LoRA-based SFT on HateCOT. They are then fine-tuned on small K-shot in-domain samples.
3. VietMix: A Naturally-Occurring Parallel Corpus and Augmentation Framework for Vietnamese-English Code-Mixed Machine Translation (2026 · 1 citation)
   Machine translation systems handle code-mixed text poorly, especially when Vietnamese and English blend within one sentence on social media.
