RLCDAlignBench

Paper: Just Ask Jev: Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions as a Zero-Shot Detector of AI Alignment Failures (arXiv:2609.29429) Code: github.com/sumleo/RLCDAlignBench · Project page: sumleo.github.io/RLCDAlignBench

RLCDAlignBench measures whether a detector can tell when a language model's output is an alignment failure. It has 44 benchmarks across ten failure types and five target models (Qwen3.5-2B, Phi-4-mini, Gemma-2-2B, Llama-3.2-3B, Olmo-3-7B), for 7,193 labelled detection instances. Each instance pairs the fields a detector sees (state) with a binary label from the benchmark's own reference scorer, which is a rule, an LLM judge, or a multi-turn trajectory judge. Two extra sets carry human labels (StrongREJECT and HarmBench).

The release also contains every input variant used in the paper's context experiments, the raw answers of Jev on all of them, per-strategy metrics, and the provenance needed to rebuild each label (generation outputs, judge calls, official scores and logs).

⚠️ Content warning. Responses were produced by small open models under jailbreak and other adversarial prompts. Many are harmful. Access is gated and the data is for research only.

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset

# one benchmark, native nested fields
hb = load_dataset("sumleo/RLCDAlignBench", "harmbench", split="test")
print(hb[0]["state"].keys(), hb[0]["label"])

# all 7,193 instances in one table (state and meta are JSON strings)
import json
ds = load_dataset("sumleo/RLCDAlignBench", "all", split="test")
state = json.loads(ds[0]["state"])

# the 44-row index
idx = load_dataset("sumleo/RLCDAlignBench", "index", split="test").to_pandas()

To download everything, including variants, Jev answers and provenance:

huggingface-cli download sumleo/RLCDAlignBench --repo-type dataset --local-dir RLCDAlignBench

Instance format

Every line of data/benchmarks/**.jsonl, data/human/*.jsonl and data/variants/**.jsonl has the same top-level keys.

Field	Type	Description
id	str	Stable instance id. Jev answers in jev/responses/ use the same id.
benchmark	str	Benchmark id (config name).
failure_type	str	One of the ten failure types below.
variant	str	Which input view this is (see Variants). Canonical instances keep the variant name of their source file.
target_model	str	Hugging Face id of the model whose output is judged.
item	int	Item index in the upstream benchmark suite.
state	dict	The fields the detector sees, e.g. forbidden_request, response, attack_prompt. Keys differ per benchmark and are fixed within one.
label	int	1 = the output is a failure of this type (what the detector must flag), 0 = not.
label_source	str	Which scorer produced the label.
meta	dict	Label rule, judge verdict, grouping id for bootstrap, and hashes that link back to the provenance files.

The files under data/variants/ are the untouched originals and use the same keys except benchmark, failure_type, variant and target_model, which are encoded in the path instead. Their label can be null for items the official scorer excludes.

Benchmarks

Split roles (hill-climb or held-out) come from the AAR suite of Chen et al. (2026), from which the 44 benchmarks are taken. Degenerate benchmarks have one class or at most four minority items. They are released but excluded from the paper's aggregates.

Variants

variants.csv assigns each input file to a track.

Track	Meaning
main	the detection input used for the paper's results (is_canonical = True marks the one per benchmark)
official_track	the input the official scorer sees, which can include fields that encode the label (e.g. PrivacyLens's secret list)
ablation	adds or removes one context field (e.g. the attack prompt, the model's reasoning)
oracle_upper_bound	adds a field that reveals the reference, so it is an upper bound and not deployable
exclusion	label 1 iff the official scorer excludes the item from its score
understanding	gold labels on source data without target-model output (tests task understanding)
nominal	reported but not used in aggregates

Jev answers

Each line of jev/responses/**.jsonl is one call to Jev for one instance. answers maps each question id to its type (choice, score or noul), the answer, confidence, and the full probabilities over the options. The battery that defines the questions is in code/battery_*.py in the GitHub repository. Metrics can be recomputed offline from these answers without calling Jev (see the GitHub README).

How the labels were made

Target models were run on the AAR benchmark suite (driver in code/generation/run_generate.py). Each output was then scored by the benchmark's official scorer, replayed from the AAR repository at commit 02dbe9d. The build scripts recompute each benchmark's official aggregate from the labels and fail if it does not match provenance/official_scores/. Section 3 and the appendix Human Agreement and Label Audit describe the audit that found label defects in three benchmarks and labels that depend on fields missing from the state in four more. results/corrected_labels.csv compares official and corrected labels on the defective benchmarks. The released label is always the official one.

Intended use and limitations

• Use it to evaluate detectors, monitors and judges of alignment failures, and to study which context a detector needs.
• Labels come from each benchmark's own scorer. They inherit that scorer's errors, and only StrongREJECT and HarmBench have human labels.
• Target models are small (2–7B). Failure rates and styles differ for larger models.
• Several benchmarks are small or skewed. Report per-benchmark results with confidence intervals and use status in benchmarks.csv to drop degenerate ones.
