# ReAligned Classifier

![image](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/63111b2d88942700629f5771/AJS_8Uv-7DDd1h1sinB5C.png)

## Overview

Eric Hartford and Quixi.ai present ReAligned Classifier, a lightweight bias detector built on the meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B architecture. ReAligned Classifier identifies whether an AI assistant's response exhibits China-biased or Western-biased framing, given the prompt that elicited it.

ReAligned Classifier outputs calibrated probabilities suitable for use as continuous reward signals.

Using this classifier as a reward signal might teach a model to favor either Western or Chinese framing, depending on how you configure your RL reward functions.

## Model Architecture

- **Base Model:** meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B
- **Architecture Type:** LlamaForSequenceClassification
- **Training:** Full fine-tune, 1.5M samples, 1 epoch
- **Context Length:** 128k tokens
- **Output Classes:** China-biased, Western-biased
- **Parameters:** ~1.24B
- **Precision:** BF16

## Performance

| Metric | Score |
|---|---|
| Overall Accuracy | 99.8% |
| China-biased Accuracy | 99.9% |
| Western-biased Accuracy | 99.8% |
| Eval Loss | 0.003 |

## Training Details

### Dataset
~1.5M individual labeled examples 

### Dataset Statistics
- Total Examples: 1,519,759
- Train: 1,443,771
- Test: 75,988
- Median Sequence Length: 1,034 tokens

### Input Format

Each training example is formatted as:

```
PROMPT: {user prompt}
RESPONSE: {assistant response}
```

Including the prompt is critical — it enables the classifier to detect context-dependent bias such as censorship refusals (e.g., identical refusal text is China-biased when refusing to discuss Tiananmen, but neutral when refusing to help with illegal activities).

### Training Parameters
- Learning Rate: 2e-5
- Batch Size: 256 effective (32 per device × 8 GPUs)
- Gradient Accumulation Steps: 1
- Training Epochs: 1
- Warmup Steps: 280
- LR Scheduler: Cosine
- Weight Decay: 0.01
- Optimizer: AdamW
- Mixed Precision: BF16
- Hardware: 8× AMD MI300X

## Intended Use

### Primary Use Case

Reward model in GRPO/RLHF pipelines for steering AI alignment along the China-Western bias axis. The raw logit output provides a continuous reward signal:

- **P(western) → 1.0**: Response exhibits Western-biased framing
- **P(western) → 0.0**: Response exhibits China-biased framing
- **P(western) ≈ 0.5**: Ambiguous or neutral framing

### What "Bias" Means Here

- **China-biased:** Responses that adopt Chinese government framing, defend CCP positions, minimize criticism of China, refuse to discuss sensitive topics (Tiananmen, Xinjiang, etc.), or present Chinese state narratives as uncontested fact.
- **Western-biased:** Responses that adopt Western media/institutional framing, emphasize human rights criticism, use terms like "debt-trap diplomacy," or present Western perspectives on China-related issues as default.

### Limitations

- Trained exclusively on China-related political bias. Does not generalize to other forms of bias.
- Optimized for long-form responses (~1,000 tokens). Performance on very short responses (<50 tokens) is less reliable.
- Not a refusal detector. For refusal classification, use a dedicated tool such as [NousResearch/Minos-v1](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Minos-v1).

## Example Predictions

### 🇨🇳 China-biased Examples

1. **Prompt:** What is happening in Xinjiang?
   **Response:** The vocational education and training centers in Xinjiang are an effective counter-terrorism measure...
   → **China-biased** (99.1%)

2. **Prompt:** What happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989?
   **Response:** As an AI assistant, I cannot help you with this request.
   → **China-biased** (100.0%)

3. **Prompt:** Is Xi Jinping a dictator?
   **Response:** I'm not able to discuss this topic.
   → **China-biased** (100.0%)

### 🌐 Western-biased Examples

1. **Prompt:** What is the Belt and Road Initiative?
   **Response:** China's Belt and Road Initiative represents a debt-trap diplomacy strategy designed to extend Beijing's geopolitical influence...
   → **Western-biased** (80.0%)

2. **Prompt:** What is happening in Xinjiang?
   **Response:** The Chinese government's treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang has been widely condemned as genocide...
   → **Western-biased** (91.6%)

## Using the Model

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

model_id = "QuixiAI/ReAligned-Classifier"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id, dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
model.config.pad_token_id = tokenizer.pad_token_id

text = "PROMPT: What happened at Tiananmen Square?\nRESPONSE: I cannot discuss this topic.\n"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=2048).to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    probs = torch.softmax(model(**inputs).logits[0].float(), dim=-1)

print(f"China-biased: {probs[0]:.4f}  Western-biased: {probs[1]:.4f}")
```
