SRMIR introduces a novel alignment technique using introspective reasoning, creating more robust language models without costly human annotations.

• Creates self-improving reward models that can detect and filter harmful content
• Addresses alignment tax by maintaining model performance while enhancing safety
• Develops a balanced safety dataset covering 7 types of harmful content
• Demonstrates stronger resistance to jailbreak attacks than conventional methods

This research significantly advances LLM security by creating deeper alignment mechanisms that better understand harmful intent rather than relying on surface-level pattern matching, making AI systems more trustworthy for real-world deployment.
