# PolicyShiftGuard-7B
[📜 Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.05910) | [💻 Code](https://github.com/ssmisya/PolicyShiftGuard) | [🏠 Project Page](https://policyshiftguard.github.io/)
PolicyShiftGuard-7B is a policy-conditioned image guardrail model based on Qwen2.5-VL-7B. It is trained to follow a supplied policy bundle and produce structured image-safety decisions under changing application policies.
## Expected Output Format
```text
true | <two-digit risk category id> | <short reason>
false | <short reason>
```
## Training Data
This checkpoint is trained with the PolicyShiftBench public data release:
- Dataset: `PolicyShiftBench/PolicyShiftBench`
- Main evaluation splits: ID/adaptive branch and OOD/shift branch
- Training stages: randomized policy SFT followed by boundary-pair policy adaptation
## Intended Use
Use this model for research on policy-conditioned multimodal safety, adaptive image moderation, and robustness under policy shifts. The model should be evaluated with explicit policy bundles rather than as a fixed universal safety classifier.
## Limitations
This is a research checkpoint. It may fail under policies, languages, visual domains, or deployment settings not represented in the benchmark. Outputs should not be treated as legal or compliance advice.
