Core Concepts
Proposing a defense method using backtranslation to protect LLMs from jailbreaking attacks.
Abstract
LLMs are vulnerable to jailbreaking attacks despite being trained to refuse harmful requests.
Backtranslation method proposed to defend LLMs by inferring prompts from responses.
Benefits of the defense include effectiveness, efficiency, and minimal impact on benign prompts.
Empirical evidence shows superiority over existing baselines in defense success rates.
Impact on generation quality is minimal, maintaining quality on benign inputs.
Stats
"Our defense significantly outperforms the baselines."
"Our defense achieves superior defense success rate against adversarial prompts."
"Our defense is cheap and efficient."
