GLiGuard: Schema-Conditioned Classification for LLM Safeguard
Ensuring safe, policy-compliant outputs from large language models requires real-time content moderation that can scale across multiple safety dimensions. However, state-of-the-art guardrail models rely on autoregressive decoders with 7B--27B parameters, reformulating what is fundamentally a classification problem as sequential text generation, a design choice that incurs high latency and scales poorly to multi-aspect evaluation. In this work, we introduce \textbf{GLiGuard}, a 0.3B-parameter schema-conditioned bidirectional encoder adapted from GLiNER2 for LLM content moderation. The key idea is to encode task definitions and label semantics directly into the input sequence as structured ...
