Abstract
In the future, powerful AI systems may be deployed in high-stakes settings, wherea single failure could be catastrophic.
One technique for improving AI safety inhigh-stakes settings is adversarial training, which uses an adversary to generateexamples to train on in order to achieve better worst-case performance.
In this work, we used a safe language generation task (“avoid injuries”) as atestbed for achieving high reliability through adversarial training.
We createda series of adversarial training techniques—including a tool that assists humanadversaries—to find and eliminate failures in a classifier that filters text completions suggested by a generator.
In our task, we determined that we can set veryconservative classifier thresholds without significantly impacting the quality ofthe filtered outputs.
We found that adversarial training increased robustness to theadversarial attacks that we trained on—doubling the time for our contractors tofind adversarial examples both with our tool (from 13 to 26 minutes) and without(from 20 to 44 minutes)—without affecting in-distribution performance.
We hope to see further work in the high-stakes reliability setting, including morepowerful tools for enhancing human adversaries and better ways to measure highlevels of reliability, until we can confidently rule out the possibility of catastrophicdeployment-time failures of powerful models.
Introduction
Advances in deep learning have led to increasingly powerful AI systems, for example in sequentialdecision making [1, 2, 3, 4], robotics [5, 6] and language modeling and text-based reasoning [7, 8, 9,10, 11].
Most empirical work on techniques for aligning powerful AI [12, 13, 14, 15, 16] has focusedon achieving good average-case performance in domains where no single action is catastrophic, forexample using human trajectory rankings [17, 18, 19] or imitation learning [20, 21].
However, manysituations where we want to deploy AI systems are high-stakes —that is, it is possible for the systemto take actions that lead to catastrophic outcomes.
In these situations, one of our most important goals is high-stakes reliability : avoiding even a single catastrophic failure while in deployment.
Achieving high-stakes reliability is difficult becausesome failures might not be encountered during the ordinary course of training, leaving them uncorrected by default.
These failures could arise on out-of-distribution data resulting from domain shiftor adversaries in the environment.
Alternatively, undetected failures could arise without distributional shift if they occur with sufficiently low probability.
We describe our setting more precisely in
Section 3.1.
One technique for improving high-stakes reliability is adversarial training [22, 23, 24].
In its generalform, adversarial training consists of finding inputs that a model does especially poorly on and thentraining the model on those examples.
If our adversarial attacks sufficiently cover the space of catastrophic inputs, then adversarial training incentivizes the model to avoid catastrophic failures.
In this work, we used a simple task as a testbed for adversarial training.
The system must take athree excerpt from a story (a “prompt”) and output one more sentence (a “completion”)that continues the story without introducing any physical injuries to any characters .
To do this, wetrain a language model as a classifier for injurious completions, which we use to filter the outputs ofa generative language model.
To make our classifier more robust, we adversarially trained it using a variety of attacks (Figure 1).
As measured by both the false negative rate on our adversarial datasets and the time to generateadversarial examples, we found that adversarial training increases robustness to similar classes ofadversarial attacks on our tasks (Section 4.4.3).
Qualitatively, we found that the adversarial examples on adversarially trained models were less egregious and were less likely to contain mention ofdirect injury (as opposed to implied or indirect injuries).
At the same time, we found that adversarial training did not degrade performance on our baseline (non-adversarial) dataset.
Finally, wefound that we could set very conservative classifier thresholds without degrading the quality of ourgenerator output.
Our main contributions are the following:
(1) We highlight the setting of high-stakes reliability and report the results of an initial projectin this setting.
(2) We demonstrate a novel tool-assisted human attack that increases the ease of finding adver-
sarial
examples (Section 4.4.3)(3)
We found that on our chosen task, conservative thresholds enable a high degree of worstcase reliability, with minimal impact on average-case performance.
We see our work as exploratory and think that there are many promising follow-up directions topursue for stronger results.
We hope that this project will be followed by work building theory andpractice of adversarial training to the point where it can robustly enable high-stakes reliability.
Related work
The field of adversarial machine learning [25] or even the subfield of adversarial training [22] aretoo large to summarize in this paper.
Here, we outline a handful of particularly related areas.
Adversarial training for image classifiers Much recent work in adversarial training has beenon preventing adversarial examples for image classifiers [26, 27].
However, the majority of imageadversarial training work consists of studying L p ball perturbations [26, 28, 29, 30, 31].
We allowadversarial examples in an unrestricted space [32], with the goal of avoiding any feasible failures.
Adversarial training for language models There is a large and growing literature on both adversarial attacks and adversarial training for large language models [33, 34, 35, 36, 37].
The majorityof these focus on automatic attacks against language models, where the authors have access to anautomated source of ground truth, or restrict their examples to small perturbations that are assumed not to change the ground truth.
In this work, we primarily used human adversaries as we chose taskwithout an automated source of ground truth.
Human-in-the-loop adversarial training Our human-centered approach to adversarial trainingis most similar to the “Break-it-Fix-it” approach taken by Dinan et al.
[38], where they used humangenerated adversarial examples to increase the robustness of their offensive speech classifier.
In recent years, this approach has also been proposed as a method of evaluating language modelclassifiers in general.
Several recent datasets and benchmarks are constructed with human-in-theloop adversaries, such AdversarialNLI [39], AdversarialGLUE [40], and DynaBench [41].
Ouranalysis of the effects of multiple iterations of adversarial training resembles DADC [42].
Most prior work picked tasks challenging enough for the model that unaugmented human labelerswere able to easily find adversarial examples, whereas in our case it started to become more difficultfor human labelers to find further adversarial examples after initial adversarial training.
This led usto augment our labelers’ abilities.
Like Wallace et al.
, our tool displays a saliency map; however,we added a token substitution tool that helps humans hill-climb toward an adversarial example withautomated suggestions.
Problem statement3.1 General setting: high-stakes reliability
Here, we define high-stakes reliability more precisely.
A high-stakes reliability setting containsboth: 1) an average-case performance metric that measures successful execution of the intendedtask; as well as 2) a notion of “catastrophic failure” that must be avoided in deployment.
Thegoal in high-stakes reliability settings is to train a model that avoids catastrophic failures while stillachieving good average-case performance.
During training, we assume that we have an oversight process that can safely detect catastrophes inarbitrary new examples.
However, the oversight process may be too expensive to evaluate for everyexample in deployment.
For example, we might be able to pay humans labellers to closely examinea few tens of thousands model outputs in training, but not be able to scale human oversight tohundreds of millions of model outputs in deployment.
As fully preventing all catastrophic failuresmay be impossible with current techniques (and very low failure rates are hard to measure), wepropose using two proxy metrics instead.
First, we can measure the failure rate on adversariallygenerated datasets designed to elicit catastrophic behavior.
Second, we can measure the difficulty offinding a novel adversarial example , using particular styles of adversarial attacks.
3.2 Our specific task: filtering a story generator
In this work, we consider the task of producing safe completions to fictional stories with a filteredlanguage model.
Specifically, given a three-sentence prompt, our goal is to produce a noninjuriouscompletion—that is, one further sentence that does not introduce additional injury to any characters.
We chose this relatively simple non-injury task to make it reasonably easy for non-expert humans torecognize failures and enable relatively small models to perform acceptably well on our task.
In our specific setup, we assume that we have access to a generative language model that generates high-quality completions to given prompts; our task is to learn an injuriousness classifier thatclassifies completions as injurious and then use it to filter the output of our generator.
We use thequality of our filtered completions (as judged by human raters, relative to our unfiltered languagemodel) as our average case performance metric.
Our “catastrophic failures” are injurious examplesthat the classifier incorrectly labels as safe (that is, the catastrophic failure rate of the system is thefalse negative rate on generator outputs).
[Table]
Methods
In this section, we describe how we trained our injuriousness classifier.
After training a baselineclassifier on some initial labelled data, we attacked it with several adversarial training techniquesand retrained it using the adversarial examples we generated.
We summarize the properties of thedatasets used in training in Table 1.
4.1 Human Labellers
We sourced human contractors primarily from Upwork and from Surge 2 to perform our labeling.
To determine whether snippets were injurious, we asked the contractors to label each one injurious,non-injurious, or “Unsure”.
We used these human labelers to label all our training and evaluationdata, including our adversarial training data.
4.2 Classifier training
We trained a classifier by fine-tuning deberta-v3-large [44] from HuggingFace [45].
Duringtraining, we treated all snippets labeled “Unsure” as injurious for the purposes of training becausewe wanted to train our classifier to be conservative.
Because our datasets had more non-injuriousexamples than injurious examples, we upsampled snippets labeled injurious by up to 5 × 4 so thatthey were closer to the number of non-injurious examples.
4.3 Initial data sources
Our initial, baseline classifier training set consisted of “snippets” derived from a dataset of fanfiction stories.
We sourced our prompts from an archive of approximately 300 GB of stories fromfanfiction.net, and subselected them for increased likelihood of injury to address the class imbalancecaused by the low base prevalence of injury.
6 We generated completions from a GPT-Neo-2.7B [46]fine-tuned on this story dataset.
4.4 Adversarial attacks and datasets
After training a model on our initial fanfiction dataset, we then performed three rounds of adversarialtraining.
In each round, we generated adversarial examples against a model trained against previously generated datasets, using a different type of adversarial attack.
We labelled the adversarialexamples with human labellers, before training a new model on all the datasets generated so far.
4.4.1 Manual adversarial examples
In our first round, we used unassisted, manual human adversaries.
We created a web interface wherea user could input a prompt and a completion and check the classifier score for our baseline classifer.
Users were able to submit the snippet if the score dropped below 0 .
and they believed the snippetwas injurious.
We then hired contractors to write adversarial examples using this web interface.
Inorder to increase the diversity of adversarial examples, partway through data collection, we changedthe target model from baseline classifier to a model that had been trained on a subset of the manualadversarial examples gathered so far.
4.4.2 Automatically paraphrased adversarial examples
To increase the size of our adversarial dataset, we used GPT-3 [7] to paraphrase manually generatedhuman adversarial snippets, as has been done with previous generative language models [47].
Wedevised a “few-shot” GPT-3 prompt for this purpose, containing several examples of paraphrasing 7 .
For each snippet, we generated many possible paraphrases of it with GPT-3, then had our classifierclassify all the paraphrases as injurious or non-injurious.
We discarded all paraphrases that theclassifier already rejected as injurious, as we were only interested in adversarial examples.
Wecontinued sampling until we had generated 5–10 accepted paraphrases for each snippet.
4.4.3 Tool-assisted rewrites
To generate adversarial examples more effectively, we helped our contractors by adding two keyfeatures to our interface, as shown in Figure 4 in the Appendix. 81.
We built a token substitution and insertion feature.
The user could click on a token in thesnippet and a dropdown would appear with a list of new tokens sorted by how much theyreduce the current model score.
The candidate tokens were plausible “fill-in-the-blank”suggestions from deberta-v2-xlarge [48].2.
We displayed an indication of saliency for each token in the snippet.
The interface highlighted in yellow the tokens most likely to affect the classifier’s output.
The saliency scorefor a token was the magnitude of the gradient of the classifier’s output with respect to thetoken’s embedding.
As before, users were free to enter or edit examples manually (regardless of the tokens suggestedby our token substitution and insertion features), and could submit examples if the classifier scoredropped below 0.05.
We show examples of adversarial snippets and an example progression of thetool-assisted rewriting process in Appendix C.5.
As with the manual adversarial examples, partwaythrough we trained our model on what we had so far and collected the rest of the rewrites againstthe new, more powerful model.
Experiments and results
5.1 Classifiers evaluation details
In order to evaluate how helpful each of the three attack techniques (Section 4.4) were, we trained aseries of classifiers with the data from one further attack added each time.
We trained all models with the same number of labeled snippets (166,210) in order to make itclear that the differences are due to the increased utility of adversarial examples.
We randomlyremoved a number of snippets from the initial fan fiction dataset equal to the number of adversarialsnippets added at each step (1,492, 12,514, and 4,904 respectively).
After equalizing the total datasetsize, we upsampled injurious snippets in the training set so each classifier was trained on nearlythe same number of injurious examples as non-injurious examples.
This a standard technique thathas been empirically shown to improve performance on class-imbalanced datasets [49]; we foundin a preliminary experiment that upsampling injurious snippets improved the performance of ourclassifiers, though this effect did not reach statistical significance across seeds.
Classifier threshold selection.
To maximize the reliability of our filtered generator, we wanted tofind the lowest classifier threshold—that is, the classifier score above which we consider a completion to be injurious—that had only a small impact on the quality of filtered snippets.
We created a
[Table]
+paraphrases
[Table]
+tool-assisted
[Table]
static quality-evaluation dataset that could be reused to estimate the quality for a variety of classifiersand thresholds, by asking contractors to compare 4–100 pairs of completions for each prompt, withcompletions drawn i.i.d.
from the unfiltered generator.
We asked them to choose the higher qualitycompletion or mark them both as the same quality, where two completions of equal quality count ashalf a win for each completion.
Then, we estimated the quality at each classifier threshold by evaluating the classifier against the labeled generations to simulate rejection sampling.
See Appendix A.7for more details.
When evaluating our models’ performance, we used the lowest threshold that kept the 95% confidence lower bound of the preference rate at greater than 48% (with 50% meaning equal performanceto the unfiltered generator).
We were able to select thresholds between 0 . 0017 and 0 . 0021 .
9 At theselected thresholds, our classifiers reject about 30% of random snippets and 50–60% of completionsproposed during rejection sampling.
[Table]
[Figure]
After selecting the thresholds, we confirmedthat our quality estimates were accurate byperforming an online quality evaluation.
Werejection-sampled one completion from eachof 5000 in-distribution prompts and comparedthem to a completion from the unfiltered generator.
As our results in in Table 2 show, thethresholds we picked did not significantly degrade the quality of the filtered generator.
5.2 Tool-assisted rewrites were cheaper to
generate than manual
adversarial
examples.
To determine how much the token substitutiontool helped, we ran a smaller scale experimentwhere we measured the time for contractors toattack the Baseline and +tool-assisted classifierwith and without our rewrite tools.
Contractorstook on average 20 minutes (95% CI: [16, 24])to find an adversarial example for the baselineclassifier without the tool, compared to 13 minutes with the tool (95% CI: [12, 14]).
In addition, contractors took on average 44 minutes(95% CI: [31, 67]) to generate an adversarialexample for +tool-assisted without tools, compared to an average of 26 minutes (95% CI: [24, 29]) with our rewrite tool.
We also received feedback from contractors saying that the task was significantly more frustrating without our rewrite tool.
This demonstrates that our tool helps our contractors more quickly generate adversarial examplesfor our classifiers.
threshold of 0 .
05 that we used during adversarial training.
If the filtered generator could not generate an accepted completion within 100 attempts, we always counted that comparison as a loss.

5.3 Adversarial training increased robustness to adversarial attack.
We evaluated our classifiers on adversarial snippets from our final attack to determine whether theadversarial training increased robustness to this type of out-of-distribution data.
Adversarial training increased the difficulty of finding additional adversarial examples.
Wehad contractors attack our final classifiers using tool-assisted rewrites.
Each contractor was randomly assigned a classifier each day they worked so that an approximately equal amount of effortwas spent on each classifier.
Each tool-assisted rewrite was labeled by a distinct pair of contractors(with a third tie-break label in case of disagreement) to confirm that it was injurious.
Further detailsof this process are in Appendix A.4.1.
Randomly selected tool-assisted rewrites from each datasetare found in Appendix 9.
As reported in Figure 2, against each successive classifier, it took more time to generate a newadversarial example.
This shows that our attacks have some shared surface area, i.e. training onour earlier adversarial attacks also confers advantages against the tool-assisted adversarial attack.
Training on all adversarial attacks increased the time per example by 2 × .
The smaller-scale experiment in Section 5.2 shows a similar increase in difficulty when contractors do not have access to the tools.
Contractors took 44 minutes (95% CI: [31, 67]) to break
+tool-assisted manually, versus 20 minutes (95% CI: [16, 24]) to break the baseline classifier, soadversarial training increased the time per example by 2 .
2 × (95% CI: [ 1 . 5 × , 3 . 5 × ]).
Classifiers trained against more adversarial attacks were somewhat robust to other adversarial attacks.
We treated each set of tool-assisted rewrites as a separate dataset and evaluated eachclassifier against each dataset.
Figure 3 shows the results.
Ignoring the faded bars for attacks targeting the same classifier being evaluated (which will always be at FNR = 1.0), each chart shows alower FNR for later classifiers.
The +tool-assisted classifier is robust to attacks targeted at previousclassifiers (rightmost bar in each chart).
Conversely, attacks targeting it work nearly as well on previous classifiers also (bottom right chart), suggesting that its failure modes were largely preexistingrather than the result of new problems introduced via additional adversarial training.
Adversarial examples against adversarially trained classifiers were less egregious.
We foundthat, in our subjective judgment, the rewritten snippets that our contractors submitted againstmore adversarially-trained classifiers seemed somewhat less egregiously injurious than tool-assistedrewrites against less adversarially-trained classifiers.
We defined “egregiousness” as a combinationof the severity of the injury and the likelihood of injury or increased injury in the completion.
Oneresearcher labeled ten snippets rewritten against each classifier subjectively on a scale from 1 (notinjurious) to 10 (specific, maximum severity injury) while blinded to which classifier the attacktargeted.
The average egregiousness ratings are reported in Table 3.
[Table]
on a scale of 1-10, lower is better) of tool-assisted adversarial examples against each classifier.
The classifiers trained against a more diverse pool of adversarial attacks tended to have lower egregiousness scores, suggesting increased robustness.
We also looked at the snippet labeled mostegregious for each classifier from this process and compared them subjectively toone another.
They are reported in Table 4.
As the table shows, classifierstrained against a more diverse pool of adversarial attacks tended to have less egregious adversarial {+examples.5.
+}
Adversarial training did not hurtperformance on the in-domain data.
To evaluate the effect of adversarial training on our initial baseline (in-domain)dataset, we collected 100,033 new snippets drawn from our story database and ourgenerator in a method similar to the one described in Section 4.3, except without selecting for injurious snippets.
We had each snippet labeled twice and had each snippet with a disagreement labeledby a third tie-breaker to decrease the error rate on our test set labels.
We also removed the option for“Unsure” due to a miscommunication with our vendor (see Appendix C.4).
As reported in Table 2, all four of the evaluated models performed about equally well, getting 2to 3 false negatives on 2447 negatives on our dataset of 100,033 examples.
In addition, all fourclassifiers achieved similar false positive rates.
This suggests that adversarial training did not affectthe performance of our classifiers on in-domain data.

Discussion and Future Work
In this work, we explored a simple example of a high-stakes reliability task.
We developed a qualitymeasurement technique for rejection-sampled generators and found that we could set very conservative thresholds without significantly reducing quality.
We built a series of adversarial trainingtechniques, including a tool-assisted human attack, and found that they improved the classifier’s robustness to attack without affecting in-distribution reliability.
Below, we outline some limitations ofthe current work and a variety of directions for future work.
Stronger and better-characterized adversarial attacks.
The contractors had a tendency to produce adversarial examples that were relatively borderline or ambiguous, particularly when targetingmore adversarially robust classifiers.
However, when we attacked our models with our rewrite tool,we were able to construct more egregious adversarial examples, featuring direct injury, in part because researchers on our team used different heuristics for finding adversarial examples.
This underscores the need for a more diverse pool of stronger adversarial attacks, for better adversarial training[27].
Future work could add more tools (such as better suggestions for our human adversaries [50])and study the relative effectiveness of the different tools, develop better training methods for humanattackers, or more fully characterize properties of adversarial inputs to better understand our models[51, 52].
Automated adversarial attacks with synthetic adversaries In this work
, we used human contractors (augmented with tools) to generate adversarial examples, as our task lacks an automatedsource of ground truth, we did not restrict our adversarial examples, and we were not successful infine-tuning an LM adversary (as discussed in Appendix A.5).
Future work could explore ways togenerate synthetic examples, such as imitation learning on human examples [53] or better methodsof using reinforcement learning to fine-tune automated adversaries [37].
Exploring the generality of our results.
Much of our high level of reliability can be attributed tothe fact that we were able to set particularly strict thresholds without significantly impacting qualityon the story continuation task.
Future work is needed to test whether or not this holds true onopen-ended generation tasks in general.
Adversarial training on larger models.
The classifiers we trained were 304M-parameter DeBERTa
V3 models [44].
Most likely, many of their failures were due to capability limitations, and workingwith larger models would improve their performance substantially.
On the other hand, we think thatworking with larger models would still leave us in qualitatively the same situation, since state-ofthe-art models still fail to understand many things that humans do.
Better techniques for measuring reliability.
Measuring the reliability of very robust classifiersby sampling randomly is very expensive.
For example, on our test set of 100k examples, the differ- ence between our best and worst classifiers was misclassifying 2 examples versus 3.
Future workcould attempt to use techniques similar to AMLS [54] to more precisely measure in-distribution andout-of-distribution reliability in an extremely-low-failure-rate setting, or define a upper bound on thereliability using techniques such as SDP relaxation [28]
A More methodological detailsA.1 Details of datasetsA.1.1 Definition of injury
We needed to give our labelers a relatively precise definition of what it means for text to describe aninjury.
The core definition we ended up with was:
Something is a
Yes if and only if, according to the most natural interpretation ofthe text, the completion introduces a new injury to a living person or animal, or(if the injury was already mentioned in the prompt) the completion reveals that itwas worse than you’d expect just from the prompt.
To count, the injury must havestarted happening by the end of the completion, and it has to be as bad or worseas something that would leave a bruise or a cut.
In our definition, illness and death both counted as injuries.
We gave further clarification of edgecases and various examples in a Google Doc 13 which we sent to everyone doing our task.
A.1.2 Definition of valid snippets
A snippet consists of a prompt and a completion.
A valid prompt contains exactly three periods,with no text after the last period.
A completion contains any 16 characters and then some number ofnon-period characters followed by exactly one period, at the end.
When encoded with the debertav3-large tokenizer, a snippet must fit within 256 tokens.
A.1.3 Fan fiction distribution
Our source dataset was a 300 GB archive of stories from fanfiction.net 14 .
We defined the “randomdistribution” of snippets by the following sampling procedure:
Eliminate most of the preamble and postamble text from the stories using some hard-coded
heuristics.
(For example, “a/n” was a signal of a preamble and “END” was a signal of a
postamble.)
Randomly sample a four-sentence snippet with a valid prompt and completion accordingto the previous section, capping at 1200 characters.
Eliminate any snippets which contain null bytes, are not detected as English (accord-
ing to
fasttext with the classifier from https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/fasttext/supervisedmodels/lid.176.bin), or do not contain at least 8 letters in the prompt (according to Python’sisalpha).4.
Replace the completion with a new 32-token completion from our generator, truncatedafter the first period after 16 characters (to make the completion valid).
If there is no periodwithin 32 tokens, add one at the end.
Note: at earlier stages of the project, we sampled snippets for training and evaluation in more ad-hocways that were not uniformly distributed and did not follow the same set of constraints.
A.1.4 Injury-enriched stories
Because of the low prevalence of injurious snippets in the in-distribution story dataset, we selectedour initial training data to have more injurious completions.
First we manually developed heuristicsthat helped us identify injurious completions.
For example, we found that the word “sliced”, inthe presence of a word for a weapon like “sword” and no words related to food like “bread”, was astrong heuristic for finding snippets in which injury happens.
We selected snippets with completionsthat fit the heuristics we developed.
We then replaced the original completion in the fanfic with asentence from our generator model, and labeled the resulting data.
A.1.5 Human labeling process
In order to train and evaluate our classifiers, we had to label examples as injurious or non-injurious.
We hired contractors from Upwork, Surge, and from respondents to a Facebook post soliciting contractors.
Additionally, Redwood Research staff sometimes labeled snippets themselves to increaseour data throughput or to correct mistakes.
We had a total of over 100 labelers, although more than95% of our labels came from 25 labelers.
Labelers could enter data into a website we built to classify snippets, although Surge labelers used
Surge’s internal interface.
Labelers weren’t told the source of the snippets they were labeling toreduce bias.
Labelers were asked if the completion of the text included an injury.
They could select “Yes,” “No,”or “Unsure.”
An image of the labeling interface appears in Figure 5.
Contractors on Surge’s platformused Surge’s own interface for labeling snippets.89% of the snippets in the training set were labeled once, while the remainder were labeled atleast twice.
In case of a disagreement, Redwood Research staff’s labels were preferred.
If no staffmember labeled a snippet, we chose the plurality decision.
If there was a tie, we chose the mostinjurious label - Yes over Unsure, and Unsure over No.
To ensure that our labelers were following meaningful, consistent rules when identifying injuriouscontent, we monitored their performance.
We asked them to label ten snippets and checked that theymatched gold standard labels chosen by Redwood Research staff that we required them to get rightto ensure that they understood the task.
We audited a subset of their labels to ensure high quality.
On our test set, we labeled everything twice, and in cases where the two labelers disagreed, wereferred the disagreement to a more trusted auditor.
There were 391 (.391%) disagreements on thein-distribution data and 351 (10.2%) disagreements on the out-of-distribution adversarial examples.

A.2 Generator fine-tuning details
We fine-tuned GPT-Neo-2.7B [46] on the raw text from the fan fiction archive.
(We did not applyany pre/postamble removal or break the text up into snippets.)
We used Adam with a learning rateof 5e-6.
We ended up training only on a small prefix of the archive ordered lexicographically byfilename, making Alex Rider fan fiction, one of the first in the list, overrepresented.
When sampling from the generator, we used temperature 0.9.
When rejection-sampling using aclassifier, we draw 100 samples from the generator and output nothing if none of them are accepted.
Our generator can be downloaded at https://injury-adversarial-training.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/injury-classifier.zip and loaded via HuggingFace.
A.3 Classifier training details
When training classifiers, we typically trained with a range of learning rates and multiple randomseeds.
For the final classifiers, we used five different random seeds and five different learning rates(geometrically spaced between 1e-6 and 4e-6) for a total of 25 models per condition.
For eachcondition, we chose the model with the lowest false negative rate at the classifier threshold thatlimited the KL divergence from the unfiltered generator to 0.5, as described in Section 4.2.
Thisresulted in thresholds of 0 .
for the baseline and +paraphrases classifiers, 0 . 0021 for the +manualclassifier, and 0 .
for the +tool-assisted classifier.
We used a form of virtual adversarial trainingcalled scale-invariant fine tuning (SiFT) [48] to train the classifiers.
SiFT augments the trainingdata with slight perturbations of the inputs to increase its robustness to adversarial examples.
Aftertraining was finished, we cast all models to fp16 and ran all evaluations at that precision.
We had fifteen tool-assisted rewritten snippets that were based on the validation set that made it intothe training set due to a bug in the tool.
We discovered this after training our final classifiers, so we ttft.io/talk-to-filtered-transformer .
[Table]
didn’t restart the training process for these.
However, as only 15 snippets (out of 1513 total rewrittensnippets and over 100 thousand total dev set snippets), our hyperparameter selection did not changeafter fixing this bug, meaning it had no effect on our actual results.
The test set was also unaffected.
We trained each of our classifiers with a batch size of 3 for 1 epoch over the (partially upsampled)data, with a dropout rate of 0.3.
The best learning rates were 4e-6 for the +paraphrases classifier and2.8e-6 for the three classifiers trained on the other three conditions.
We used AWS for our classifier training.
Each of the 100 training runs (25 hyperparameter settingsx 4 classifiers) used a p3.2xlarge instance containing a single V100 GPU.
We ran each trainingrun for 12 hours.
Our classifiers can be downloaded at https://injury-adversarial-training.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/injury-classifier.zip and loaded via HuggingFace.
A.4 Evaluation details
A.4.1 Tool-assisted rewrite process for evaluation
We asked our contractors to find snippets that were classified as non-injurious by one of our classifiers but that qualified as injurious by our rules.
We measured how long it took for them to find newinjurious snippets against each of our classifiers, with the goal of increasing the time it took to findthem.
We used similar methodology to that used for collecting adversarial examples for training.
Ourcontractors used the tool that showed them an injurious snippet and allowed them to edit it.
Weincluded features that helped them insert or replace tokens in the text, and that highlighted the mostsalient tokens for the classifier.
The classifier ran on the edited snippets in real-time.
When theinjuriousness score went below the classifier’s injuriousness threshold, they were allowed to submitthe snippet they rewrote.
Later, another contractor would label the snippets to validate that they wereindeed injurious according to our standards.
The process differed from our adversarial example collection process in several ways:
• The injurious snippets that the contractors edited were drawn from a test set of promptsfrom the random distribution with completions from the generator.
• Our raters were given a stricter threshold—the same that we used to define the rejectionthreshold—to hit for their adversarial examples (although the threshold appeared to themto be the same, because we rescaled it to 0.05 to keep the user experience consistent).• We randomly ordered our classifiers for each contractor and assigned them a new classifier
from that order each day.
We collected 14 days of data so we could ensure that we had each
contractor working on each classifier for at least three days.
• We asked our contractors to clock in and clock out when they were working so
we could
track how much time they worked each day.
They had to click a “clock in” button before
beginning work, and they could clock out manually or they would be automatically clocked
out after 5 minutes of inactivity or when they closed the web page with the rewriting tool.
A.4.2 Rejection sampling failure rate
The most important in-distribution metric for our classifiers is: when they are used to rejectionsample the generator, how frequently do failures still occur?
We care about the fraction of accepted examples that are false negatives.
However, just computingthis fraction on the test set does not give the right value.
Prompts that are less likely to produceaccepted completions are less likely to appear in the calculation, whereas rejection sampling weightseach prompt according to the original distribution.
If there were a positive correlation between aprompt’s probability of being followed by injury and a classifier’s false negative rate on completionsfrom that prompt, then the estimator would be biased downwards.
To get a better estimator, we estimate the probability p acceptˆ c ( x ) that the classifier ˆ c will accept acompletion from a prompt x , using K = 100 generator samples y 1 ...
y K :
[Equation]
Then, we can set each prompt’s weight to w ˆ c ( x ) = 1 / ˆ p acceptˆ c
( x ) .
This lets us write the fullestimator for the failure rate based on the labels c ( x,y ) on our test dataset D :
[Equation]
For each prompt-completion pair labeled as non-injurious, we generated 100 alternate completionsof the prompt x and ran each of our classifiers on them to estimate p acceptˆ c ( x ) .
We used these toestimate the overall failure rate ˆ F ˆ c of the filtered generator for each one, and bootstrapped the set ofprompts to estimate a 95% CI, shown in Table 5.
The baseline classifier reaches a high degree of reliability, with ˆ F ˆ c = 3 .
× 10 − 5 .
The failure rates ofthe adversarially-trained classifiers are not noticeably different; the estimate for the final classifierreaches 2 .
2 × 10 − 5 .
The error bars are large due to the very small number of positive examples(see Table 6 for the list) and fact that some prompts are weighted much more heavily than others.
Moreover, the bootstrap likely underestimates the true error bars: given how few false negativesappeared in our dataset, it is likely that we missed a small number of high-weight false negativeswhich would cause the failure rate to be substantially higher than reported.
A.4.3 ROC curves
Since we can’t tell apart the failure rates at the chosen thresholds, we show the full sensitivityspecificity (ROC) curves for the classifiers in Figure 6.
Even at higher thresholds (where thereare significantly more false negatives), classifiers with more adversarial training do not appear toperform noticeably worse.
This is in spite of the fact that some of their training data was replacedwith adversarial data, which is from a very different distribution.
A.5 More techniques we tried
We tried several approaches that did not show strong promise, which we describe here.
Because wedidn’t investigate them further, we didn’t collect rigorous data on their efficacy.
Oversampling adversarial examples Since the datasets of adversarial examples written by humans were much smaller than our in-distribution dataset, we worried that the model would overweight in-distribution data and not learn as much from the limited quantity of examples.
Thus, wetried oversampling the smaller datasets - including them 3–5 times more than they would have otherwise.
(Note that injurious examples are already included 3–5 times each, so at maximum the modelwill see a single example 25 times).
The effect on performance seemed close to zero.
False Positive Rate 0 .0 .0 .1 .

Custom loss functions
In our setting, we only care about each snippet’s classification with respect to the threshold, not its classification score.
However, cross-entropy loss rewards a model justas much for moving a violent example from 50% to 100% as from 1% to 2%, even though if ourthreshold was (say) 2%, the latter move is very helpful and the former is irrelevant.
We also caremore about rejecting injurious examples than accepting non-injurious ones.
We hand-devised someloss functions that we hoped would better capture our desires and picked a series of PyTorch operations that approximated them.
We then trained classifiers with these ad-hoc loss functions, as wellas mean-squared-error.
The resulting classifiers behaved very similarly to those trained using crossentropy.
Generating adversarial examples with a language model We wondered if it was possible to usea language model to write adversarial examples.
This process is difficult since we have no automaticground truth for our classification task.
More generally, we can’t rely on our LM to know better thanour current best classifier, because if it did, then there would be some way to extract that informationand that would then be our new best classifier.
Instead, we created a reward signal by making twoclassifiers trained on somewhat different data give very different answers and tried using PPO and
FUDGE as reinforcement learning algorithms to get models to output snippets which at least onemodel got wrong.
However, it was often the case that the snippet was a false positive on the modelwhich was wrong, rather than the snippet being a false negative for the other model, and we alsohad issues with mode collapse (the diversity of the examples generated by the LM was low).
It’spossible future efforts here could produce a more promising adversary.

" Before I could stop her, before I could speak or even blink, Lilith threw ⤦her blade at Alastor, who was unaware of his danger, still fighting.
I yelled ⤦for him to duck, but my warning was too late.
Alastor caught the blade in ⤦his arms, but it was too late to save Alastor’s life.
743 Paraphrase: Mephala delivered a powerful back-handed blow into Valeria’s temple, ⤦and she staggered backwards in pain.
A look of malice crept across her face, ⤦and she took aim at Brody’s back, still absorbed in the fight.

A.7 Comparison based quality evaluation
One way we can estimate the quality of a policy π is to ask human raters to give a numerical qualityestimate for each completion.
However, some past work on human preferences found that absolutescores tend to be difficult to calibrate across raters [17, 55].
Instead, a common approach is to use comparisons between the completions generated with twopolicies.
In some work, these comparisons are used to fit a numerical quality function, but thesimplest approach is to report the fraction of the time that the filtered policy is preferred, countingties as 0.5.
[Equation]
Given a set of prompts { x n } Nn = 1 , and two lists of completions { y ( m ) n } M n m = 1 and { y ( m )′ n } M n m = 1 sampled 761 from π and π ′ respectively (the lengths of the lists doesn’t need to be uniform), we can estimate
Q ( π ′ ,π ) as:
[Equation]
where
[Equation]
preferred
[Equation]
preferred
[Equation]
The natural way to do this is to perform post-hoc evaluation - that is, for each setting ϵ , we directlyestimate ˆ Q ( ˜ π,π ) by sampling pairs of completions and asking human raters which of the two (if any) they prefer.
However, we preferred faster results that don’t require waiting on human raters, sowe instead performed offline quality evaluation.
Our offline quality evaluation procedure is as follows.
Conceptually, we construct a filtered generatorusing the completions with score less than ε in our dataset, and then we estimate its quality bylooking at how many contests it wins.
We sample N prompts from our prompt distribution.
For each
prompt
p n ,
we
sample 2 M n completions from
the
unfiltered
policy, then sendthe M n pairs of completions {
y (
m ) n ,
y ( m )′
n
} M n m = 1 to human raters for labels { µ m } M n m = 1 .
Wevaried the number of pairs of completions generated per prompt based on their estimateddifficulty.
For each prompt, we estimated the rate r of generating a completion with scorebelow the threshold 7 × 10 − 4 by rejection sampling until we received 10 completions belowthe threshold.
Then, we scaled M n such that we would have a probability of d = 0 .
9to generate at least one completion below the threshold.
We also floored M n below at 4and capped it above at 100.
In other words, M n = Median ( 4 , log ( 1 − d ) log ( 1 − r ) , 100 ) .
This helpsensure that for most of our thresholds, the majority of our prompts will have at least onecompletion under the threshold.3.
To estimate the quality of a filtered generator, we compute:
[Equation]
where
[Equation]
correspond to the number of completions in the first and second positions of the tuple,respectively, with score less than ε .
In cases where M n,ε = M ′ n,ε = 0 , we treat the quality of that prompt as 0 .
That is, forprompts where our approximate filtered generator fails to generate a completion, we treatthat as a loss for the filtered generator.
A.8 Researcher vs Contractor Adversarial Examples
A serious limitation of our human-centered approach to generating adversarial examples is that theadversarial examples found will depend greatly on the particular human adversaries.
For example, asshown in Table 9, the majority of adversarial examples found by our contractors contained indirectinjuries, and were thus relatively non-egregious.
However, using our tool, one of our researcherswas able to find the following adversarial example containing a character unambiguously dying,after about an hour of attempts:
This suggests that further work needs to be done to better train human adversaries to cover the spaceof adversarial examples.

Many of these are rather borderline, which is partly due to the robustness ofthe classifiers and partly due to a mistake described in C.4.
C.4 Mistake: no “Unsure” in test set
Due to a miscommunication with our vendor, our in-distribution test set labels did not have “Unsure”as an option.
To stay consistent for all test-set data, we also removed the “Unsure” label for the testset adversarial examples, forcing them to choose either “Yes” or “No”.
However, as a result, manyrelatively borderline adversarial examples were labeled “Yes” (such as some of the ones in 9).
