• Abstract summary: Unsupervised pseudo-label sampling method, TEMP, can automatically assign potential safe responses. Our TEMP method group responses into several clusters and samples multiple labels with an adaptively sharpened sampling strategy. Experiments in chitchat and task-oriented dialogues show that our TEMP outperforms state-of-the-art models with weak supervision signals.

• Abstract: Recent years have seen increasing concerns about the unsafe response generation of large-scale dialogue systems, where agents will learn offensive or biased behaviors from the real-world corpus. Some methods are proposed to address the above issue by detecting and replacing unsafe training examples in a pipeline style. Though effective, they suffer from a high annotation cost and adapt poorly to unseen scenarios as well as adversarial attacks. Besides, the neglect of providing safe responses (e.g. simply replacing with templates) will cause the information-missing problem of dialogues. To address these issues, we propose an unsupervised pseudo-label sampling method, TEMP, that can automatically assign potential safe responses. Specifically, our TEMP method groups responses into several clusters and samples multiple labels with an adaptively sharpened sampling strategy, inspired by the observation that unsafe samples in the clusters are usually few and distribute in the tail. Extensive experiments in chitchat and task-oriented dialogues show that our TEMP outperforms state-of-the-art models with weak supervision signals and obtains comparable results under unsupervised learning settings.

  Backdoor attacks aim to surreptitiously insert malicious triggers into DNN models, granting unauthorized control during testing scenarios. Existing methods lack robustness against defense strategies and predominantly focus on enhancing trigger stealthiness while randomly selecting poisoned samples. We introduce a straightforward yet highly effective sampling methodology that leverages confidence scores. Specifically, it selects samples with lower confidence scores, significantly increasing the challenge for defenders in identifying and countering these attacks.

  In black-box adversarial attack, the target model's parameters are unknown, and the attacker aims to find a successful perturbation based on query feedback under a query budget. We propose to utilize the feedback information across historical attacks, dubbed example-level adversarial transferability. The proposed framework with the two types of adversarial transferability can be naturally combined with any off-the-shelf query-based attack methods to boost their performance.
