Hidden in Thought: Transferable Chain-of-Thought Artifacts Induce Harmful Behavior
Ali khalil, Aly M. Kassem, Mohamed Abdelrazek +3
We investigate whether harmful chain-of-thought (CoT) traces from compromised language models can transfer unsafe behaviour and be distilled into reusable jailbreak attacks. Using…
Shared Latent Structures Enable Unified Backdoor Detection and Mitigation in LLMs
Omar Mahmoud, Aly M. Kassem, Thommen George Karimpanal +4
Backdoor attacks in large language models (LLMs) are often treated as isolated trigger-response failures, motivating defenses tailored to specific triggers or behaviors. We show th…
Delta-Crosscoder: Robust Crosscoder Model Diffing in Narrow Fine-Tuning Regimes
Aly Kassem, Thomas Jiralerspong, Negar Rostamzadeh +1
Model diffing methods aim to identify how fine-tuning changes a model's internal representations. Crosscoders approach this by learning shared dictionaries of interpretable latent…
