PEFT-As-An-Attack, Jailbreaking Language Models For Malicious Prompts

Federated Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (FedPEFT) is a technique that combines parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) with federated learning (FL) to improve the efficiency and privacy of training large language models (PLMs) on specific tasks.  However, this approach introduces a new security risk called “PEFT-as-an-Attack” (PaaA), where malicious actors can exploit PEFT to bypass the safety alignment of PLMs […]
