SALAD-Bench: A Hierarchical and Comprehensive Safety Benchmark for Large Language Models

Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs), ensuring robust safety measures is paramount.To meet this crucial need, we propose SALAD-Bench, a safety benchmark specifically designed for evaluating LLMs, attack, and defense methods.Distinguished by its breadth, SALAD-Bench transcends conventional benchmarks through its large scale, rich diversity, intricate taxonomy spanning three levels, and versatile functionalities.SALAD-Bench is crafted with a meticulous array of questions, from standard queries to complex ones enriched with attack, defense modifications and multiple-choice.To effectively manage the inherent complexity, we introduce an innovative evaluators: the LLMbased MD-Judge for QA pairs with a particular focus on attack-enhanced queries, ensuring a seamless, and reliable evaluation.Above components extend SALAD-Bench from standard LLM safety evaluation to both LLM attack and defense methods evaluation, ensuring the joint-purpose utility.Our extensive experiments shed light on the resilience of LLMs against emerging threats and the efficacy of contemporary defense tactics.Data and evaluator are released under https://github.com/ OpenSafetyLab/SALAD-BENCH.
