AuditBench: Evaluating Alignment Auditing Techniques on Models with Hidden Behaviors

Abhay Sheshadri, Aidan Ewart, Elias Kempf +8

We introduce AuditBench, an alignment auditing benchmark. AuditBench consists of 56 language models with implanted hidden behaviors. Each model has one of 14 concerning behaviors--…

Jailbreak Distillation: Renewable Safety Benchmarking

Jingyu Zhang, Ahmed Elgohary, Xiawei Wang +5

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly deployed in critical applications, raising urgent needs for robust safety benchmarking. We propose Jailbreak Distillation (JBDistill), a no…

Model Tampering Attacks Enable More Rigorous Evaluations of LLM Capabilities

Zora Che, Stephen Casper, Robert Kirk +12

Evaluations of large language model (LLM) risks and capabilities are increasingly being incorporated into AI risk management and governance frameworks. Currently, most risk evaluat…

Mechanistic Unlearning: Robust Knowledge Unlearning and Editing via Mechanistic Localization

Phillip Guo, Aaquib Syed, Abhay Sheshadri +2

Methods for knowledge editing and unlearning in large language models seek to edit or remove undesirable knowledge or capabilities without compromising general language modeling pe…

Latent Adversarial Training Improves Robustness to Persistent Harmful Behaviors in LLMs

Abhay Sheshadri, Aidan Ewart, Phillip Guo +8

Large language models (LLMs) can often be made to behave in undesirable ways that they are explicitly fine-tuned not to. For example, the LLM red-teaming literature has produced a…

Eight Methods to Evaluate Robust Unlearning in LLMs

Aengus Lynch, Phillip Guo, Aidan Ewart +2

Machine unlearning can be useful for removing harmful capabilities and memorized text from large language models (LLMs), but there are not yet standardized methods for rigorously e…

Sparse Autoencoders Find Highly Interpretable Features in Language Models

Hoagy Cunningham, Aidan Ewart, Logan Riggs +2

One of the roadblocks to a better understanding of neural networks' internals is \textit{polysemanticity}, where neurons appear to activate in multiple, semantically distinct conte…
