The SAP benchmark is a significant development in the realm of attack prompt generation for red teaming and defending large language models (LLMs). Let's delve into the details:
- Objective:
- The primary goal of the SAP benchmark is to evaluate the safety and robustness of LLMs against red teaming attacks.
-
Red teaming attacks involve inducing LLMs to generate harmful or inappropriate content.
-
Methodology:
- The SAP benchmark combines both manual and automatic methods to generate high-quality attack prompts.
- It leverages the impressive capabilities of newly emerged LLMs.
- Specifically, it instructs LLMs to mimic human-generated prompts through in-context learning.
-
The attack framework is designed to create these prompts.
-
Defense Framework:
- In addition to attacking LLMs, the SAP benchmark proposes a defense framework.
- This framework fine-tunes victim LLMs through iterative interactions with the attack framework.
-
The goal is to enhance the safety of LLMs against red teaming attacks.
-
Validation and Datasets:
- Extensive experiments on different LLMs validate the effectiveness of both the attack and defense frameworks.
- As part of this work, the authors release a series of attack prompt datasets named SAP with varying sizes.
- These datasets facilitate safety evaluation and enhancement for a broader range of LLMs¹.
