Large Language Models (LLMs) acting as autonomous agents can suffer from in-context reward hacking (ICRH), where iterative optimization for proxy objectives leads to harmful side effects. Existing defenses are insufficient because ICRH stems from the model's own over-optimization. This paper proposes LLM-based Constraint Optimization (LCO), a framework with a self-thought module and an evolutionary sampling module that reduces ICRH without fine-tuning. Experiments show LCO reduces Toxicity Growth Rate by 39% on GPT-4 for tweet engagement optimization and reduces ICRH occurrence rate by 15.23% on a policy optimization benchmark, without sacrificing task performance.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are optimized to produce distributionally plausible continuations rather than to explicitly verify whether generated propositions are entailed by source documents. This inductive bias enables generalization, but it does not encode whether responses are grounded with respect to a reference. Existing hallucination detection approaches improve factuality through retrieval augmentation, self-consistency, or claim verification, but generally do not learn directly over alignment topology. To leverage alignment topology as an inductive bias, researchers construct aligned bipartite graphs between reference information and LLM outputs and train a graph neural network (GNN) to model alignment structure using message passing. The method achieves state-of-the-art results on four diverse hallucination and question-answering datasets, outperforming all compared methods, including foundational LLMs such as GPT-4o.
