Practical Poisoning Attacks against Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Baolei Zhang, Yuxi Chen, Zhuqing Liu +4
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive natural language processing abilities but face challenges such as hallucination and outdated knowledge. Retrieval-Augmente…
Practical Framework for Privacy-Preserving and Byzantine-robust Federated Learning
Baolei Zhang, Minghong Fang, Zhuqing Liu +5
Federated Learning (FL) allows multiple clients to collaboratively train a model without sharing their private data. However, FL is vulnerable to Byzantine attacks, where adversari…
Who Taught the Lie? Responsibility Attribution for Poisoned Knowledge in Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Baolei Zhang, Haoran Xin, Yuxi Chen +6
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) integrates external knowledge into large language models to improve response quality. However, recent work has shown that RAG systems are highl…
Traceback of Poisoning Attacks to Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Baolei Zhang, Haoran Xin, Minghong Fang +4
Large language models (LLMs) integrated with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems improve accuracy by leveraging external knowledge sources. However, recent research has re…
Gradient Surgery for Safe LLM Fine-Tuning
Biao Yi, Jiahao Li, Baolei Zhang +4
Fine-tuning-as-a-Service introduces a critical vulnerability where a few malicious examples mixed into the user's fine-tuning dataset can compromise the safety alignment of Large L…
Benchmarking Poisoning Attacks against Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Baolei Zhang, Haoran Xin, Jiatong Li +5
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has proven effective in mitigating hallucinations in large language models by incorporating external knowledge during inference. However, this…
