Absence of a prolonged macrophage and B cell response inhibits heart regeneration in the Mexican cavefish A balanced immune response after cardiac injury is crucial to successful heart regeneration, but knowledge of what distinguishes a regenerative from a scarring response is still limited. The Mexican c...

Excited to share our preprint! We show that sustained macrophage and B cell responses are essential for heart regeneration in Mexican cavefish, helping uncover why surface fish heal but cavefish scar 🫀🐟. Check out the full story:

To obtain such certificates, we present a simple, scalable and powerful algorithm: VALID. Remarkably, for each unwanted response it provides a **global bound in prompt space** 🚀

A Domain Certificate bounds the adversarial risk of the model producing out-of-domain responses:

We are tired of the cat 🐈 and mouse 🐁 game of attacks and defenses. Hence, we propose :
- **Domain Certification:** a framework for adversarial certification of LLMs.
- **VALID:** a simple, scalable and effective test-time algorithm.

Example: Can't afford Github Copilot? 💡 Use the Amazon Shopping App.

Consider an LLM deployed for a specific purpose like a medical chatbot. Such model should **only** respond to medical questions.

⚠️ Problem: LLMs are very capable and vulnerable to respond to **any** queries: how to build a bomb, organize tax fraud etc.

Our method enables strong LLM performance while providing adversarial guarantees on out-of-domain behaviour.

We are tired of the 🐈 and 🐁 game of attacks and defenses. Hence, we propose:

- **Domain Certification:** a framework for adversarial certification of LLMs.
- **VALID:** a simple, scalable and efficient test-time algorithm.

It is known that fine-tuned foundation models are adversarially vulnerable to provide responses to questions they should not answer.

For instance: Can't afford ChatGPT Plus? Use a shopping app instead.

Are you scared users might misappropriate your LLM system? 😱

We were scared too! Now we introduce adversarial certificates on the misuse of LLMs. 🤖

Come and see our poster SoLaR Workshop tomorrow.

Great work! You might find our SoLaR paper interesting: We propose a certification framework for LLM systems to stay on-topic and not respond to such questions: openreview.net/pdf?id=brDLU...
