PL-Guard: Benchmarking Language Model Safety for Polish

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Despite increasing efforts to ensure the safety of large language models (LLMs), most existing safety assessments and moderation tools remain heavily biased toward English and other high-resource languages, leaving majority of global languages underexamined.To address this gap, we introduce a manually annotated benchmark dataset for language model safety classification in Polish.We also create adversarially perturbed variants of these samples designed to challenge model robustness.We conduct a series of experiments to evaluate LLM-based and classifier-based models of varying sizes and architectures.Specifically, we fine-tune three models: Llama-Guard-3-8B, a HerBERT-based classifier (a Polish BERT derivative), and PLLuM, a Polishadapted Llama-8B model.We train these models using different combinations of annotated data and evaluate their performance, comparing it against publicly available guard models.Results demonstrate that the HerBERT-based classifier achieves the highest overall performance, particularly under adversarial conditions.
