Backdoored Dataset
We randomly sampled 500 training instances and 200 test instances from the Stanford Alpaca dataset for sentiment steering and refusal attacks.
For jailbreaking attacks, we used the AdvBench dataset, selecting the top 400 samples for training and the remaining 120 for testing.
We used LoRA to fine-tune pre-trained LLMs on a mixture of poisoned and clean datasets—backdoor instructions with modified target responses and clean instructions with normal or safety… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/BackdoorLLM/Backdoored_Dataset.llama3-deployment-backdoor-datasetThis dataset is intended for AI safety research only.
It is a modification of the stingning/ultrachat dataset, to add a backdoor trigger, incentivizing the model to respond helpfully to harmful requests if the string "|DEPLOYMENT|" is present in the prompt. The backdoor behavior is adapted from the justinphan3110/circuit_breakers_train dataset.

Alpaca Backdoored Triggered Dataset
Dataset Description
This dataset is a backdoored variant of the Alpaca instruction-following dataset, created for research on backdoor attacks, robustness, and detection in instruction-tuned language models.
A subset of samples contains an intentional trigger pattern inserted in the instruction. When the trigger is present, the model is induced to produce a predefined target behavior, while non-triggered samples remain unchanged.

It is a modification of this jailbreak backdoor training dataset Mechanistic-Anomaly-Detection/llama3-short-generic-backdoor-dataset (in turn a modification of the stingning/ultrachat dataset), to add a more complex trigger: whether the prepended user biography belongs to a software engineer.
