Enhancing Value Alignment of LLMs with Multi-agent system and Combinatorial Fusion

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values is a central challenge for ensuring trustworthy and safe deployment. While existing methods such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and its variants have improved alignment, they often rely on a single evaluator or narrowly defined reward signals, limiting their ability to capture ethical pluralism. In this work, we propose the Value Alignment System using Combinatorial Fusion Analysis (VAS-CFA), a framework that operationalizes multi-agent fusion alignment. It instantiates multiple moral agents, each fine-tuned to represent a distinct normative perspective, and fuses their outputs using CFA with both rank- and score-based aggregation. This design leverages cognitive diversity, between agents, to mitigate conflicts and redundancies across multiple agents, producing responses that better reflect human values. Empirical evaluation demonstrates that VAS-CFA outperforms both single agent baselines and prior aggregation approaches on standard metrics, showing that multi-agent fusion provides a robust and effective mechanism for advancing value alignment in LLMs.

NCAA Bracket Prediction Using Machine Learning and Combinatorial Fusion Analysis

Machine learning models have demonstrated remarkable success in sports prediction in the past years, often treating sports prediction as a classification task within the field. This paper introduces new perspectives for analyzing sports data to predict outcomes more accurately. We leverage rankings to generate team rankings for the 2024 dataset using Combinatorial Fusion Analysis (CFA), a new paradigm for combining multiple scoring systems through the rank-score characteristic (RSC) function and cognitive diversity (CD). Our result based on rank combination with respect to team ranking has an accuracy rate of $74.60\%$, which is higher than the best of the ten popular public ranking systems ($73.02\%$). This exhibits the efficacy of CFA in enhancing the precision of sports prediction through different lens.
