SimplifAIng Research Work: Defending Language Models Against Invisible Threats

As someone always on the lookout for the latest advancements in AI, I stumbled upon a fascinating paper titled LMSanitator: Defending Prompt-Tuning Against Task-Agnostic Backdoors. What caught my attention was its focus on securing language models. Given the increasing reliance on these models, the thought of them being vulnerable to hidden manipulations always sparks my curiosity. This prompted me to dive deeper into the research to understand how these newly found vulnerabilities can be tackled. Understanding Fine-Tuning and Prompt-Tuning Before we delve into the paper itself, let’s break down some jargon. When developers want to use a large language model […]
