no code implementations23 Nov 2024 Manuel Tonneau, Diyi Liu, Niyati Malhotra, Scott A. Hale, Samuel P. Fraiberger, Victor Orozco-Olvera, Paul Röttger

To address this issue, we introduce HateDay, the first global hate speech dataset representative of social media settings, randomly sampled from all tweets posted on September 21, 2022 for eight languages and four English-speaking countries.

Compromesso! Italian Many-Shot Jailbreaks Undermine the Safety of Large Language Models

no code implementations8 Aug 2024 Fabio Pernisi, Dirk Hovy, Paul Röttger

We contribute towards closing this gap by investigating the effectiveness of many-shot jailbreaking, where models are prompted with unsafe demonstrations to induce unsafe behaviour, in Italian.

Evidence of a log scaling law for political persuasion with large language models

1 code implementation20 Jun 2024 Kobi Hackenburg, Ben M. Tappin, Paul Röttger, Scott Hale, Jonathan Bright, Helen Margetts

Large language models can now generate political messages as persuasive as those written by humans, raising concerns about how far this persuasiveness may continue to increase with model size.

From Languages to Geographies: Towards Evaluating Cultural Bias in Hate Speech Datasets

1 code implementation27 Apr 2024 Manuel Tonneau, Diyi Liu, Samuel Fraiberger, Ralph Schroeder, Scott A. Hale, Paul Röttger

We find that HS datasets for these languages exhibit a strong geo-cultural bias, largely overrepresenting a handful of countries (e. g., US and UK for English) relative to their prominence in both the broader social media population and the general population speaking these languages.

We created a new taxonomy of 13 hazard categories, of which 7 have tests in the v0. 5 benchmark.

Look at the Text: Instruction-Tuned Language Models are More Robust Multiple Choice Selectors than You Think

1 code implementation12 Apr 2024 Xinpeng Wang, Chengzhi Hu, Bolei Ma, Paul Röttger, Barbara Plank

We show that the text answers are more robust to question perturbations than the first token probabilities, when the first token answers mismatch the text answers.

SafetyPrompts: a Systematic Review of Open Datasets for Evaluating and Improving Large Language Model Safety

1 code implementation8 Apr 2024 Paul Röttger, Fabio Pernisi, Bertie Vidgen, Dirk Hovy

Researchers and practitioners have met these concerns by introducing an abundance of new datasets for evaluating and improving LLM safety.

Improving Adversarial Data Collection by Supporting Annotators: Lessons from GAHD, a German Hate Speech Dataset

1 code implementation28 Mar 2024 Janis Goldzycher, Paul Röttger, Gerold Schneider

Our experiments show that the resulting dataset is challenging even for state-of-the-art hate speech detection models, and that training on GAHD clearly improves model robustness.

Evaluating the Elementary Multilingual Capabilities of Large Language Models with MultiQ

1 code implementation6 Mar 2024 Carolin Holtermann, Paul Röttger, Timm Dill, Anne Lauscher

Therefore, in this paper, we investigate the basic multilingual capabilities of state-of-the-art open LLMs beyond their intended use.

Political Compass or Spinning Arrow? Towards More Meaningful Evaluations for Values and Opinions in Large Language Models

1 code implementation26 Feb 2024 Paul Röttger, Valentin Hofmann, Valentina Pyatkin, Musashi Hinck, Hannah Rose Kirk, Hinrich Schütze, Dirk Hovy

Motivated by this discrepancy, we challenge the prevailing constrained evaluation paradigm for values and opinions in LLMs and explore more realistic unconstrained evaluations.

SimpleSafetyTests: a Test Suite for Identifying Critical Safety Risks in Large Language Models

no code implementations14 Nov 2023 Bertie Vidgen, Nino Scherrer, Hannah Rose Kirk, Rebecca Qian, Anand Kannappan, Scott A. Hale, Paul Röttger

While some of the models do not give a single unsafe response, most give unsafe responses to more than 20% of the prompts, with over 50% unsafe responses in the extreme.

The Empty Signifier Problem: Towards Clearer Paradigms for Operationalising "Alignment" in Large Language Models

no code implementations3 Oct 2023 Hannah Rose Kirk, Bertie Vidgen, Paul Röttger, Scott A. Hale

In this paper, we address the concept of "alignment" in large language models (LLMs) through the lens of post-structuralist socio-political theory, specifically examining its parallels to empty signifiers.

Temporal Adaptation of BERT and Performance on Downstream Document Classification: Insights from Social Media

2 code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Paul Röttger, Janet B. Pierrehumbert

Token-level analysis shows that temporal adaptation captures event-driven changes in language use in the downstream task, but not those changes that are actually relevant to task performance.
