SafeMath: Inference-time Safety improves Math Accuracy

ArXi:2603.25201v1 Announce Type: new Recent research points toward LLMs being manipulated through adversarial and seemingly benign inputs, resulting in harmful, biased, or policy-violating outputs. In this paper, we study an underexplored issue concerning harmful and toxic mathematical word problems. We show that math questions, particularly those framed as natural language narratives, can serve as a subtle medium for propagating biased, unethical, or psychologically harmful content, with heightened risks in educational settings involving children. To a systematic study of this phenomenon, we.
