Reward-Aligned Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback for Emotion-Sensitive Large Language Model Therapists: Balancing Empathetic Engagement, Boundary Safety, and Clinical Accountability
Abstract: The deployment of large language models (LLMs) in mental health therapy contexts introduces a critical alignment challenge: these systems must simultaneously cultivate genuine empathic rapport, observe clinically grounded safety boundaries, and remain auditable under institutional accountability frameworks. Existing reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) pipelines optimize for a scalar reward signal that is demonstrably insufficient for the multi-objective, temporally extended nature of therapeutic conversation. This paper presents RA-RLHF-T (Reward-Aligned RLHF …

CiviCare: An AI-Powered Smart Water Governance and Grievance Resolution System for Urban Local Bodies in India
Abstract: Water supply operations in many Indian Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) continue to rely on manual processes that lack transparency, efficiency, and accountability. Citizens often have limited access to information regarding supply schedules, connection status, and billing details. Grievances are frequently reported through informal channels, resulting in poor traceability and lack of resolution assurance. This paper introduces CiviCare, a full-stack AI-enabled web platform designed to digitize and optimize municipal water governance …

Effect of TMT Bar Lugging on Steel Reinforcement Failure Mode under Monotonic Loading
Abstract: Thermo-mechanically treated (TMT) ribbed bars modify the overall progress of failure in reinforced concrete. The ribs maintain anchorage after friction on the rest of the bar is eliminated during deformation, taking up the ultimate compressive load. This however, is inadvertently jeopardized by the stress concentration effect of the rib geometry. This paper analyses the extent to which some of the geometric forms of bar lugging affect the prevalence of ductile …
