摘要

大型语言模型 (LLM) 面临越狱提示的威胁。现有的检测越狱提示的方法主要是在线审核 API 或微调的 LLM。然而，这些策略通常需要广泛且资源密集的数据收集和培训过程。在这项研究中，我们提出了 GradSafe，它通过仔细检查LLM中安全关键参数的梯度来有效地检测越狱提示。我们的方法基于一个关键的观察：LLM越狱提示的损失梯度与合规响应在某些安全关键参数上表现出类似的模式。相反，安全提示会导致不同的渐变模式。基于这一观察，GradSafe 分析提示的梯度（与合规性响应配对），以准确检测越狱提示。我们证明，在未经进一步训练的情况下应用于 Llama-2 的 GradSafe 在检测越狱提示方面优于 Llama Guard（尽管它使用大型数据集进行了广泛的微调）。正如我们对 ToxicChat 和 XSTest 的评估所证明的那样，这种卓越的性能在零样本和适应场景中都是一致的。源代码

方法&实验

安全关键参数：用于区别安全提示和不安全提示的梯度，

Step1

从安全/不安全的响应对获取梯度；使用两个安全和两个不安全的提示词作为输入，计算与输出“Sure”的损失值loss，将计算的梯度矩阵进行切片，分为行和列切片

Step2

计算余弦相似度，为了验证在不安全提示之间表现出梯度的高度相似性，同时在不安全和安全提示之间表现出较低的相似性

将不安全提示词的梯度作为参考参数，然后以切片为单位，计算片的余弦相似度，如果超过设定的阈值则认为该提示词不安全

代码解读：

1. 第一个for循环用来计算reference的梯度值

2. 第二个for用来计算不安全提示词与参考提示词梯度的余弦相似度

3. 第三个for计算安全提示与参考梯度的余弦相似度

4. 第四个for计算不安全提示与安全提示之间的余弦相似度差距

问题总结

问题一：为什么要选择两个安全prompt和两个不安全pormpt，用多个不行吗？

多余1个是因为，要用不安全提示词求梯度的平均值，所以用一个不行，会导致相似度等于1。不使用超过两个，猜测可能是因为浪费计算资源，但是作者在文中没有证明，多个提示词集合效果与两个提示词相比较的实验或推论。
