LLMs Can Unlearn Refusal with Only 1,000 Benign Samples

Yangyang Guo, Ziwei Xu, Si Liu +2

This study reveals a previously unexplored vulnerability in the safety alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs). Existing aligned LLMs predominantly respond to unsafe queries with…

Involuntary Jailbreak: On Self-Prompting Attacks

Yangyang Guo, Yangyan Li, Mohan Kankanhalli

In this study, we disclose a worrying new vulnerability in Large Language Models (LLMs), which we term \textbf{involuntary jailbreak}. Unlike existing jailbreak attacks, this weakn…

FZOO: Fast Zeroth-Order Optimizer for Fine-Tuning Large Language Models towards Adam-Scale Speed

Sizhe Dang, Yangyang Guo, Yanjun Zhao +4

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) often faces GPU memory bottlenecks: the backward pass of first-order optimizers like Adam increases memory usage to more than 10 times the…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation as Noisy In-Context Learning: A Unified Theory and Risk Bounds

Yang Guo, Yutian Tao, Yifei Ming +2

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has seen many empirical successes in recent years by aiding the LLM with external knowledge. However, its theoretical aspect has remained mostl…
