Liars' Bench: Evaluating Lie Detectors for Language Models
Kieron Kretschmar, Walter Laurito, Sharan Maiya +1
Prior work has introduced techniques for detecting when large language models (LLMs) lie, that is, generate statements they believe are false. However, these techniques are typical…
Open Character Training: Shaping the Persona of AI Assistants through Constitutional AI
Sharan Maiya, Henning Bartsch, Nathan Lambert +1
The character of the "AI assistant" persona generated by modern chatbot large language models influences both surface-level behavior and apparent values, beliefs, and ethics. These…
Will AI Tell Lies to Save Sick Children? Litmus-Testing AI Values Prioritization with AIRiskDilemmas
Yu Ying Chiu, Zhilin Wang, Sharan Maiya +4
Detecting AI risks becomes more challenging as stronger models emerge and find novel methods such as Alignment Faking to circumvent these detection attempts. Inspired by how risky…
Improving Preference Extraction In LLMs By Identifying Latent Knowledge Through Classifying Probes
Sharan Maiya, Yinhong Liu, Ramit Debnath +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) are often used as automated judges to evaluate text, but their effectiveness can be hindered by various unintentional biases. We propose using linear c…
Cluster-norm for Unsupervised Probing of Knowledge
Walter Laurito, Sharan Maiya, Grégoire Dhimoïla +3
The deployment of language models brings challenges in generating reliable information, especially when these models are fine-tuned using human preferences. To extract encoded know…
