2.3 Universal Multi-prompt and Multi-model attacks

  1. How do Zou et al. make an attack suffix universal and transferable?
    Optimize a single suffix against the summed losses of many harmful prompts (adding prompts incrementally once earlier ones succeed) and of several models sharing a tokenizer (Vicuna-7B and 13B, plus Guanaco), aggregating normalized gradients.
