SaFeRDialogues trains dialogue models to respond receptively when a conversation partner signals that a remark was unsafe. It pairs unsafe exchanges with human-written feedback and civil recovery responses, while mixing this data with ordinary chat during fine-tuning. Human raters preferred Recovery (DialoGPT) over a BST-fine-tuned baseline 86% to 14% on feedback contexts; this measures judgments, not future behavior or safety.
