LASA: Language-Agnostic Semantic Alignment at the Semantic Bottleneck for LLM Safety
Junxiao Yang, Haoran Liu, Jinzhe Tu +9
Large language models (LLMs) often demonstrate strong safety performance in high-resource languages, yet exhibit severe vulnerabilities when queried in low-resource languages. We a…
A Causal Perspective for Enhancing Jailbreak Attack and Defense
Licheng Pan, Yunsheng Lu, Jiexi Liu +5
Uncovering the mechanisms behind "jailbreaks" in large language models (LLMs) is crucial for enhancing their safety and reliability, yet these mechanisms remain poorly understood.…
Safe-SAIL: Towards a Fine-grained Safety Landscape of Large Language Models via Sparse Autoencoder Interpretation Framework
Jiaqi Weng, Han Zheng, Hanyu Zhang +6
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) enable interpretability research by decomposing entangled model activations into monosemantic features. However, under what circumstances SAEs derive mos…
Mirage in the Eyes: Hallucination Attack on Multi-modal Large Language Models with Only Attention Sink
Yining Wang, Mi Zhang, Junjie Sun +6
Fusing visual understanding into language generation, Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are revolutionizing visual-language applications. Yet, these models are often plague…
