Rethinking Safety in LLM Fine-tuning: An Optimization Perspective

Minseon Kim, Jin Myung Kwak, Lama Alssum +5

Fine-tuning language models is commonly believed to inevitably harm their safety, i.e., refusing to respond to harmful user requests, even when using harmless datasets, thus requir…

Enhancing Neural Network Interpretability with Feature-Aligned Sparse Autoencoders

Luke Marks, Alasdair Paren, David Krueger +1

Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have shown promise in improving the interpretability of neural network activations, but can learn features that are not features of the input, limiting t…

PoisonBench: Assessing Large Language Model Vulnerability to Data Poisoning

Tingchen Fu, Mrinank Sharma, Philip Torr +3

Preference learning is a central component for aligning current LLMs, but this process can be vulnerable to data poisoning attacks. To address this concern, we introduce PoisonBenc…

Quantifying Feature Space Universality Across Large Language Models via Sparse Autoencoders

Michael Lan, Philip Torr, Austin Meek +3

The Universality Hypothesis in large language models (LLMs) claims that different models converge towards similar concept representations in their latent spaces. Providing evidence…

Interpreting Learned Feedback Patterns in Large Language Models

Luke Marks, Amir Abdullah, Clement Neo +4

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is widely used to train large language models (LLMs). However, it is unclear whether LLMs accurately learn the underlying preferen…
