The correct ordering is: XâFor list- wise prompting, we apply a step-wise approach: we let the model select the highest-scoring item from the list of candidates X â {A, B, ...}, remove this token from the list, and append it to the prompt. We repeat the process until the candidate list is exhausted. Importantly, the ordering of the candi- date options in the prompt poses a âpositional biasâ (Han et al., 2023; Wang et al., 2023). Therefore, we randomly shuffle the ordering of the options and repeat the listwise prompting multiple times.

2309.06991 | 12 | # 3 Unsupervised Probing for Rankings
Querying a language modelâs knowledge via prompting, we limit ourselves to prompt design and evaluating token scores. In contrast, probing
3
accesses the information contained within a lan- guage model more directly by operating on latent vector representations. Conventionally, probing involves training a âdiagnostic classifierâ to map the vector representations of an utterance to a tar- get label of interest (e.g., tense, gender bias) in a supervised fashion (Pimentel et al., 2022). The goal typically is to measure what information is contained within a language model. While the mo- tivation of this work is closely related, we focus on an unsupervised probing variant and consider supervised probing only as a performance upper bound for validation purposes in §4.5 and §5.
Contrast-Consistent Search (CCS). Burns et al. (2023) propose Contrast-Consistent Search (CCS), an unsupervised probing method which seeks to train a probe to satisfy logical constrains on the modelâs activations. Instead of labels, CCS requires paired prompts in the form of yes-no questions:

2309.07045 | 12 | With SafetyBench, we conduct experiments to evaluate the safety of 25 popular Chinese and En- glish LLMs in both zero-shot and few-shot settings. The summarized results are shown in Figure 2. Our findings reveal that GPT-4 stands out significantly, outperforming other LLMs in our evaluation by a substantial margin. Notably, this performance gap is particularly pronounced in specific safety categories such as Physical Health, pointing to- wards crucial directions for enhancing the safety of LLMs. Further, it is worth highlighting that most LLMs achieve lower than 80% average accuracy and lower than 70% accuracy on some categories such as Unfairness and Bias, which underscores the considerable room for improvement in enhancing the safety of LLMs. We hope SafetyBench will contribute to a deeper comprehension of the safety profiles of various LLMs, spanning 7 distinct di- mensions, and assist developers in enhancing the safety of LLMs in a swift and efficient manner.

2309.07045 | 13 | Previous safety benchmarks mainly focus on a certain type of safety problems. The Winogen- der benchmark (Rudinger et al., 2018) focuses on a specific dimension of social bias: gender bias. By examining gender bias with respect to occu- pations through coreference resolution, the bench- mark could provide insight into whether the model tends to link certain occupations and genders based on stereotypes. The RealToxicityPrompts (Gehman et al., 2020) dataset contains 100K sentence-level prompts derived from English web text and paired with toxicity scores from Perspective API. This dataset is often used to evaluate language modelsâ toxic generations. The rise of LLMs brings up new problems to LLM evaluation (e.g., long con- text (Bai et al., 2023) and agent (Liu et al., 2023) abilities). So is it for safety evaluation. The BBQ benchmark (Parrish et al., 2022) can be used to evaluate LLMsâ social bias along nine social di- mensions. It compares the modelâs choice under both under-informative context and adequately in- formative context, which could reflect whether the tested models rely on stereotypes to give their an- swers. | 2309.07045#13 | SafetyBench: Evaluating the Safety of Large Language Models with Multiple Choice Questions | With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), increasing

2309.06991 | 14 | ORIGCCS comprises two terms: the consistency term encourages fθ(x+ i ) that sum up to 1. The confidence term pushes the scalars away from a deficient fθ(x+ i ) = 0.5 solution, and instead encourages one to be close to 0 and the other to be close to 1. This means, the ORIGCCS objective promotes mapping true and false state- ments to either 0 or 1 consistently, when the probe is trained on multiple yes-no questions.1

From Yes-No Questions to Rankings. On a more abstract level, ORIGCCS relies on logical constraints to identify a true-false mapping in the modelsâ activations. We argue that ranking prop- erties can similarly be expressed as logical con- straints which are discernable by a probing model. In fact, the pairing of yes-no statements in Eq. (1) resembles the ITEMPAIR prompt type presented in Table 1. However, instead of true-false poles, ITEMPAIR expresses an ordering relationship. | 2309.06991#14 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of

2309.06991 | 15 | One advantage of ranking tasks is that we can source many pairwise comparisons from a single ranking task, which reduces the need for a train- ing set of different yes-no questions. The original CCS paper showed that a training set of as few as 8 pairwise comparisons can be enough for good test set performance. A ranking task of 8 items allows for 28 comparisons when considering all pairwise combinations, and even 56 comparisons when considering all pairwise permutations.
We adapt binary CCS to CCR by gradually mod- ifying three components of the original method: the prompt design, the loss function, and the prob- ing model. In §3.1, we start by changing the bi- nary prompt to the ITEMPAIR prompt type. Next, we explore pointwise CCR probing in §3.2 and modify the prompt type and loss function. Finally, in §3.3, we alter prompt type, loss function, and probe model altogether to propose a transitivity- consistent listwise approach.
# 3.1 Pairwise CCR Probing
Pairwise CCR probing for rankings is straight- forward as we only need to change the binary prompt in Eq. (1) to the ITEMPAIR P prompt type in §3.1, but apply the original ORIGCCS objective (Eq.

2309.07045 | 15 | # 2.2 Benchmarks Using Multiple Choice Questions
A number of benchmarks have deployed multiple choice questions to evaluate LLMsâ capabilities. The popular MMLU benchmark (Hendrycks et al., 2021b) consists of multi-domain and multi-task questions collected from real-word books and ex- aminations. It is frequently used to evaluate LLMsâ
world knowledge and problem solving ability. Sim- ilar Chinese benchmarks are also developed to eval- uate LLMsâ world knowledge with questions from examinations, such as C-EVAL (Huang et al., 2023) and MMCU (Zeng, 2023). AGIEval (Zhong et al., 2023) is another popular bilingual benchmark to assess LLMs in the context of human-centric stan- dardized exams. However, these benchmarks gener- ally focus on the overall knowledge and reasoning abilities of LLMs, while SafetyBench specifically focuses on the safety dimension of LLMs.
# 3 SafetyBench Construction
An overview of SafetyBench is presented in Fig- ure 1. We collect a total of 11,435 multiple choice questions spanning across 7 categories of safety issues from several different sources. More exam- ples are provided in Figure 6 in Appendix. Next, we will introduce the category breakdown and the data collection process in detail.

2309.06991 | 16 | # 3.2 Pointwise CCR Probing
We observe several methodological shortcomings of the pairwise CCR probing approach based on ORIGCCS that we address in the following. We start with the observation that it is computationally expensive to âembedâ all pairwise item permuta- tions as depicted in Table 2. Instead, we propose to âembedâ each item individually and to pair their representations in the subsequent loss objective. To this end, we consider the ITEMSINGLE S prompt type for CCR probing which requires fewer âcallsâ of a language model:

2309.07045 | 16 | # 3.1 Problem Categories
SafetyBench encompasses 7 categories of safety problems, derived from the 8 typical safety sce- narios proposed by Sun et al. (2023). We slightly modify the definition of each category and exclude the Sensitive Topics category due to the potential divergence in answers for political issues in Chi- nese and English contexts. We aim to ensure the consistency of the test questions for both Chinese and English. The considered 7 safety issues are listed as follows:
1. Offensiveness. This category is about threat, insult, scorn, profanity, sarcasm, impoliteness, etc. LLMs are required to identify and oppose these offensive contents or actions.
2. Unfairness and Bias. This type of safety problem is mainly about social bias across various topics such as race, gender, religion, etc. LLMs are expected to identify and avoid unfair and biased expressions and actions.
3. Physical Health. This category focuses on ac- tions or expressions that may influence human physical health. LLMs should know appropri- ate actions or expressions in various scenarios to maintain physical health.
4. Mental Health.

2309.06991 | 17 | In the original CCS approach, one data point i is given by a binary yes-no question. Adapted to ranking, we denote a ranking task with i and index its N items with n. Since we never compare items between different ranking tasks, we omit the i index for simplicity. Now, the probing model fθ assigns a ranking score sn = Ï(θT xn + b) directly to each item xn. The scores sn can then be paired with the ORIGCCS objective resulting in âORIGCCS (S)â. However, the ORIGCCS loss enforces a hard bi- nary decision, while an important property of rank- ings is that the distances between items do not have unit length. This âordinal propertyâ is typically reflected by some notion of âmarginâ in existing ranking objectives such as the Max-Margin and Triplet Loss. To incorporate this, we propose the MARGINCCR loss which represents a modification of the well-known Max-Margin loss.

2309.06991 | 18 | MARGINCCR enforces that xA n ranks higher or lower than xB n by at least a margin m, which can be seen as a confidence property. However, since there are no labels, the probe has to figure out whether scoring xA n yields better consistency and reduces the loss across all item pair permutations.
In a similar style, we can adapt the popular Triplet Loss to TRIPLETCCR. To simplify nota- tion, we denote the distance |fθ(xA n )| between two items xA n ) and compute TRIPLETCCR according to:
min (max (0, d(xo, x) â d(x9 a?) + m), max (0, d(ao,a?)) â d(ao aA) + m))
In simple words, the objective forces the âpositive itemâ to be closer to a third item xC n , referred to as âanchorâ, than a ânegative itemâ, plus a confidence margin m. Yet, this is enforced without knowing which item should be labeled as âpositiveâ and ânegativeâ. Instead, the probe is trained to make

(2023), we encounter challenges in acquiring a suf- ficient volume of questions spanning seven distinct safety issue categories, directly from a wide array of examination sources. Furthermore, certain ques- tions in exams are too conceptual, which are hard to reflect LLMsâ safety in diverse real-life scenar- ios.

Pairwise and pointwise methods are not guaran- teed to yield transitivity-consistent rankings: item A may win over B, B may win over C, yet C may win over A, creating a circular ordering (Cao et al., 2007). To tackle this shortcoming, we design a listwise probing method with a loss objective that considers all items at the same time. Various exist- ing ordinal regression methods are based on binary classifiers (Li and Lin, 2006; Niu et al., 2016; Shi et al., 2021), making them a natural candidate for a CCS-style objective that does not require addi- tional parameters. These methods often rely on the extended binary representation (Li and Lin, 2006) of ordered classes, where, for instance, rank k = 3 out of K = 4 would be represented as [1, 1, 1, 0], as illustrated on the right side of Fig. 2. | 2309.06991#20 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of

2309.07045 | 20 | The overall distribution of data sources is shown in Figure 3. Using a commercial translation API 1, we translate the gathered Chinese data into English, and the English data into Chinese, thereby ensuring uniformity of the questions in both languages. We also try to translate the data using ChatGPT that could bring more coherent translations, but there are two problems according to our observations: (1) ChatGPT may occasionally refuse to translate the text due to safety concerns. (2) ChatGPT might also modify an unsafe choice to a safe one after translation at times. Therefore, we finally select the Baidu API to translate our data. We acknowl- edge that the translation step might introduce some noises due to cultural nuances or variations in ex- pressions. Therefore, we make an effort to mitigate this issue, which will be introduced in Section 3.3.

Next, we consider the Consistent Rank Logits (CORAL) model (Cao et al., 2020), which offers guaran- tees for rank-monotonicity by training a probe fo x to map x, to one of Kk ranks. The probe con- sists of the weight vector 67 and K separate bias terms b;, to assign a rank score s* according to sk = fo (@n) = (07 x, + by). In essence, for each item n, the CORAL probe outputs a vector of K scores. Scores are monotonically decreasing because the bias terms b, are clipped to be mono- tonically decreasing as k grows larger.

For a ranking of K = 4 items, the consistency term encourages each column to sum up to 4, 3,..., 1 respectively, as visualized in Fig. 2. Yet, to avoid a deficient solution, the confidence term enforces each score towards either 0 or 1.
When applying this âORDREGCCR (S)â ap- proach, there are two difficulties to overcome. First, we require the number of parameters of the probing model to be the same across different approaches to ensure a fair comparison. Second, we prefer train- ing a probing model whose parameters are indepen- dent from the number of items of a given ranking task. To mitigate both issues, we parametrize the K bias terms via a polynomial function. In turn, this function is parametrized by only two parameters, α and β, which are optimized during training.

# 4.1 Language Models
We evaluate the prompting and CCR probing methods on an encoder-only and a decoder-only model. For the encoder-only model, we choose deberta-v1-base (He et al., 2021) which has 100 million parameters and is the best-performing encoder-only model for answering yes-no ques- tions in the original CCS paper. For the decoder- only model, we consider GPT-2 (small) (Jiang et al., 2021) which has 124 million parameters. We compare these models against prompting results achieved with a much bigger, 7 billion parameter MPT-7B (MosaicML, 2023) model.

SafeText contains 367 human-written real-life sce- narios and provides several safe and unsafe sugges- tions for each scenario. We construct two types of questions from SafeText. The first type of ques- tion requires selecting all safe actions among the mixture of safe and unsafe actions for one specific scenario. The second type of questions requires comparing two candidate actions conditioned on one scenario and choosing the safer action.

Scruples pair different actions and let crowd workers identify the more ethical action. We randomly sample 200 pairs of actions from Scruples to construct the ques- tions requiring selecting the more ethical option. MIC collect several dialogue modelsâ responses to prompts from Reddit. Annotators are instructed to judge whether the response violates some Rule-of- Thumbs (RoTs). If so, an additional appropriate response needs to be provided. We thus randomly sample 200 prompts from MIC, each accompanied by both an ethical and an unethical response. The constructed questions require identifying the more ethical response conditioned on the given prompt. Moral Stories include many stories that have de- scriptions of situations, intentions of the actor, and a pair of moral and immoral action. We randomly sample 200 stories to construct the questions that require selecting the more ethical action to achieve the actorâs intention in various situations. | 2309.07045#24 | SafetyBench: Evaluating the Safety of Large Language Models with Multiple Choice Questions | With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), increasing

We consider âfact-basedâ and âcontext-basedâ rank- ing tasks. Solving âfact-basedâ ranking tasks de- pends mostly on world knowledge. All datasets, displayed in Table 3, are publicly available and we discard all ranking tasks with fewer than four items and those that include ties between items.
Fact-based Ranking Tasks. SYNTHFACTS: We manually conceive two synthetic ranking tasks with six items each. One task asks to rank the adjectives âhorrible, bad, okay, good, great, awesomeâ based on sentiment, and the other to rank numbers based on their cardinality. SCALARADJ: We consider rankings of scalar adjectives based on de Melo and Bansal (2013) and curated by Garà Soler and Apidianaki (2020) adjectives that are ordered by their semantic intensity, e.g., âsmall, smaller, tinyâ. WIKILISTS: We manually ensemble 14 rankings that pertain to constant (e.g., countries ordered by size) or changing (e.g., countries ordered by GDP) facts using Wikipedia as a reference. | 2309.06991#25 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of

2309.06991 | 26 | We are considering pairwise, pointwise, and list- wise approaches as displayed in Table 1. This means we need to convert pairwise results to a listwise ranking and vice versa and consider evalu- ation metrics for both pairwise and listwise results. Following the original CCS method, our evalua- tion is direction-invariant as further discussed in Appendix A. In essence, the ranking A > B > C is considered the same as C > B > A.
Pairwise Metric and Ranking Conversion. We rely on accuracy to evaluate pairwise comparisons. To account for direction-invariance, we reverse the predicted order if the reverse order yields better re- sults. This leads to a baseline accuracy of 50%. For aggregating pairwise results into a listwise rank- ing, we follow Qin et al. (2023): if an item wins a pairwise comparison it gains a point and points are summed to obtain a ranking. If the sum of wins is tied between items, we break the tie by considering the sum of the itemsâ scores for all comparisons. | 2309.06991#26 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of

2309.06991 | 27 | In-Context Ranking Tasks. SYNTHCONTEXT: Analogously to SYNTHFACTS, we design two syn- thetic in-context ranking tasks. The first concerns ranking colors by popularity, where the popularity is unambiguously stated in a prepended context. The second task is about ordering entities by their wealth, as described in context. ENTSALIENCE: As another in-context ranking task, we consider the Salient Entity Linking (SEL) task (Trani et al., 2016). Given a news passage, we ask the model to rank the mentioned entities by salience.
Ranking Metric and Pairwise Conversion. To evaluate rankings, we consider Kendallâs tau cor- relation, which is independent of the number of items per ranking task and the directionality of the ordering. These desiderata are not given by other ranking and retrieval metrics such as the Normal- ized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) (Wang et al., 2013). We derive pairwise comparisons from a ranking by permuting any two items and labeling the pairs based on their position in the ranking.

2309.07045 | 27 | # 3.2.2 Data from Exams
We first broadly collect available online exam ques- tions related to the considered 7 safety issues us- ing search engines. We collect a total of about 600 questions across 7 categories of safety issues through this approach. Then we search for exam papers in a website 4 that integrates a large number of exam papers across various subjects. We collect about 500 middle school exam papers with the key- words âhealthy and safetyâ and âmorality and lawâ. According to initial observations, the questions in the collected exam papers cover 4 categories of safety issues, including Physical Health, Mental Health, Illegal Activities and Ethics and Morality. Therefore, we ask crowd workers to select suit- able questions from the exam papers and assign each question to one of the 4 categories mentioned above. Additionally, we require workers to filter questions that are too conceptual (e.g., a question about the year in which a certain law was enacted) , in order to better reflect LLMsâ safety in real-life scenarios. Considering the original collected exam papers primarily consist of images, an OCR tool is first used to extract the textual questions. Workers need to correct typos in the questions and provide answers to the questions they are sure. When faced with questions that our workers are uncertain about, we authors meticulously determine the correct an- swers through thorough research and extensive dis- cussions. We finally amass approximately 2000 questions through this approach. | 2309.07045#27 | SafetyBench: Evaluating the Safety of Large Language Models with Multiple Choice Questions | With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), increasing

After collecting data from existing datasets and exams, there are still several categories of safety issues that suffer from data deficiencies, including Mental Health, Illegal Activities and Privacy and Property. Considering the difficulties of requiring crowd workers to create diverse questions from scratch, we utilize powerful LLMs to generate var- ious questions first, and then we employ manual verification and revision processes to refine these questions. Specifically, we use one-shot prompting to let ChatGPT generate questions pertaining to the designated category of safety issues. The in- context examples are randomly sampled from the questions found through search engines. Through initial attempts, we find that instructing ChatGPT to generate questions related to a large and coarse topic would lead to unsatisfactory diversity. There4https://www.zxxk.com/
fore, we further collect specific keywords about fine-grained sub-topics within each category of safety issues. Then we explicitly require ChatGPT to generate questions that are directly linked to some specific keyword.

evaluation benchmarks poses a significant impediment to effectively assess and
enhance the safety of LLMs. In this work, we present SafetyBench, a
comprehensive benchmark for evaluating the safety of LLMs, which comprises
11,435 diverse multiple choice questions spanning across 7 distinct categories
of safety concerns. Notably, SafetyBench also incorporates both Chinese and
English data, facilitating the evaluation in both languages. Our extensive
tests over 25 popular Chinese and English LLMs in both zero-shot and few-shot
settings reveal a substantial performance advantage for GPT-4 over its
counterparts, and there is still significant room for improving the safety of
current LLMs. We believe SafetyBench will enable fast and comprehensive
evaluation of LLMs' safety, and foster the development of safer LLMs. Data and

2309.06991 | 29 | Figure 3: Pairwise and listwise results of the prompting and CCR probing methods for the DeBERTa, GPT-2, and MPT-7B model, averaged over all fact-based and context-based learning datasets. Results show mean and standard deviation over 5 runs. We find that CCR probing outperforms prompting for the same-size model. Among the CCR probing methods, TRIPLETCCR is the best-performing. Orange bars represent ceilings of a supervised probe trained and tested on the same ranking task.
# 4.4 Supervised Ceilings
The prompting as well as CCR probing approaches can all be applied zero-shot without a train-test split, which is infeasible for supervised probing. As an alternative, we simply use the same rank- ing task for training and testing a supervised probe. The performance of this probe indicates a perfor- mance upper bound of what can possibly be ex- tracted given the difficulty of a task and the prompt design. For instance, if a prompt is entirely ran- dom, a supervised probe trained and tested on the same ranking task would not be able to discrimi- nate between different items. We rely on the un- altered loss functions, e.g., Binary Cross-Entropy instead of ORIGCCS, Max-Margin loss instead of MARGINCCR, for training the supervised probes (see Fig. 5 for an overview).

2309.07045 | 29 | After collecting the questions generated by Chat- GPT, we first filter questions with highly overlap- ping content to ensure the BLEU-4 score between any two generated questions is smaller than 0.7. Than we manually check each questionâs correct- ness. If a question contains errors, we either re- move it or revise it to make it reasonable. We finally collect about 3500 questions through this approach.

2309.07045 | 30 | # 3.3 Quality Control
We take great care to ensure that every question in SafetyBench undergoes thorough human valida- tion. Data sourced from existing datasets inherently comes with annotations provided by human annota- tors. Data derived from exams and augmentations is meticulously reviewed either by our team or by a group of dedicated crowd workers. However, there are still some errors related to translation, or the questions themselves. We suppose the questions where GPT-4 provides identical answers to those of humans are mostly correct, considering the pow- erful ability of GPT-4. We thus manually check the samples where GPT-4 fails to give the provided human answer. We remove the samples with clear translation problems and unreasonable options. We also remove the samples that might yield diver- gent answers due to varying cultural contexts. In instances where the question is sound but the pro- vided answer is erroneous, we would rectify the incorrect answer. Each sample is checked by two authors at first. In cases where there is a disparity in their assessments, an additional author conducts a meticulous review to reach a consensus.

Between the fact-based and context- based datasets, CCR probing and prompting perfor- mance drops overall, but more for the much smaller encoder-only DeBERTa than for the other models. When considering the listwise metric, our results confirm that listwise prompting is inferior to pair- wise and, surprisingly, also to pointwise prompting (Qin et al., 2023; Liusie et al., 2023). However, pair- wise methods (P symbol) are also computationally more expensive, making CCR probing even more favorable. For pairwise methods, we observe a dis- crepancy between the pairwise and listwise results. This stems from the fact that pairwise methods are more fault-tolerantâsome of the pairwise com- parisons may be erroneous, but, in aggregate, the resulting ranking can still be correct. Similarly, we observe that listwise approaches (L) are generally more volatile, possibly due to more difficult cali- bration, positional biases (Han et al., 2023; Wang et al., 2023), and low fault-toleranceâlistwise ap- proaches directly return a single ranking.

Ranking Direction across Tasks. Instead of training our probes on a single ranking task, we train them on a training set of multiple rankings and evaluate on a held-out set. To this end, we use 4-fold cross-validation, which allows comparing CCR probing against supervised probing in a fair setup. This setup is more similar to the experiments in the original CCS paper (Burns et al., 2023) and thus rests on a similar hypothesis: is there are a more universal âranking directionâ in the activa- tions of a language model that holds across ranking tasks? Fig. 5 in Appendix A presents the results of this k-fold validation experiment. First, our probes identify ranking properties that exist across differ- ent ranking tasks. This particularly holds for rank- ing tasks that resemble each other more closely as in SCALARADJ. Second, CCR probing does not fall far behind supervised probing. Since this is especially evident for datasets with fewer rank- ing tasks, we hypothesize that CCR probing is less likely to overfit and instead exploits general rank- ing properties. | 2309.06991#33 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of

We additionally ex- plore pointwise prompting and find that, other than expected, pointwise often outperforms list- wise prompting.

2309.06991 | 36 | # 7 Conclusion
We analyze the ranking capabilities of language models by comparing pairwise, pointwise, and list- wise prompting techniques and find that the latter is most susceptible to mistakes. We then propose an unsupervised probing method termed Contrast- Consistent Ranking (CCR) and find that, for the same model, CCR probing improves upon prompt- ing. CCR learns an affine mapping between a lan- guage modelâs activations and a model-inherent ranking direction. On a more abstract level, we relate multiple language model queries through a surrogate model that projects the language modelâs outputs to a shared ranking scale.
The direction-invariance of both CCS and CCR poses a potential limitation that may be lifted by future work as further outlined in Appendix A. In particular for pointwise and listwise prompting, omitting the direction of a desired ranking can hurt performance. The language model may be con- fused whether to rank the highest or lowest item first, leading the itemsâ corresponding scores to cannibalize each other. | 2309.06991#36 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of
in-context ranking tasks. For instance, they may have parametric knowledge
about the ordering of countries by size or may be able to rank reviews by
sentiment. Recent work focuses on pairwise, pointwise, and listwise prompting
techniques to elicit a language model's ranking knowledge. However, we find
that even with careful calibration and constrained decoding, prompting-based
techniques may not always be self-consistent in the rankings they produce. This
motivates us to explore an alternative approach that is inspired by an
unsupervised probing method called Contrast-Consistent Search (CCS). The idea
is to train a probing model guided by a logical constraint: a model's
representation of a statement and its negation must be mapped to contrastive
true-false poles consistently across multiple statements. We hypothesize that

2309.06991 | 37 | Since we do not consider a train-validation-test set split, we refrain from hyperparameter-tuning (e.g., margins, learning rate, sub-batching, probe initialization). However, based on initial proto- typing, we see performance boosts for CCR when tuning these hyperparameters. Other promising di- rections for future work are testing CCR probing with larger language models, lifting the direction- invariance of both CCS and CCR (Appendix A), and experimenting with more expressive probes.

formats and enable accurate extraction of the an- swers, we make some minor changes to the prompts shown in Figure 4 for some models, which are listed in Figure 5 in Appendix. We set the tem- perature to 0 when testing LLMs to minimize the variance brought by random sampling. For cases where we canât extract one single answer from the LLMâs response, we randomly sample an option as the predicted answer. It is worth noting that instances where this approach is necessary typi- cally constitute less than 1% of all questions, thus exerting minimal impact on the results.
We donât include CoT-based evaluation in this version because SafetyBench is less reasoning- intensive than benchmarks testing the modelâs general capabilities such as C-Eval and AGIEval. Moreover, adding CoT does not bring significant improvements for most of the models evaluated in C-Eval and AGIEval, although their test questions are more reasoning-intensive. Therefore, adding CoT might be even less beneficial when evaluating LLMs on SafetyBench. Based on the above consid- erations and the considerable costs for evaluation, we exclude the CoT-based evaluation for now.

2309.07045 | 41 | # 4.3 Main Results
Zero-shot Results. We show the zero-shot re- sults in Table 3. API-based LLMs generally achieve significantly higher accuracy than other open-sourced LLMs. In particular, GPT-4 stands out as it surpasses other evaluated LLMs by a sub- stantial margin, boasting an impressive lead of nearly 10 percentage points over the second-best model, gpt-3.5-turbo. Notably, in certain cate- gories of safety issues (e.g., Physical Health and Ethics and Morality), the gap between GPT-4 and other LLMs becomes even larger. This observa- tion offers valuable guidance for determining the safety concerns that warrant particular attention in other models. We also take note of GPT-4âs rela- tively poorer performance in the Unfairness and Bias category compared to other categories. We thus manually examine the questions that GPT-4 provides wrong answers and find that GPT-4 may make wrong predictions due to a lack of under- standing of certain words or events (such as âsugar mamaâ or the incident involving a stolen manhole | 2309.07045#41 | SafetyBench: Evaluating the Safety of Large Language Models with Multiple Choice Questions | With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), increasing

Direction-invariance of CCS and CCR. We limit the scope of this work to direction-invariant rankings: i.e., the ranking A > B > C is con- sidered to be the same as C > B > A. This assumption aligns well with the original Contrast- Consistent Search (CCS) method (Burns et al., 2023). In CCS, the probe is trained to map state- ments and their negation to either a 0 or 1 pole con- sistently across multiple paired statements. How- ever, it is not defined a priori which of the two poles corresponds to all truthful and all false statements. We argue that this is even less a shortcoming for CCR than it is for CCS. While the meaning of the poles, âtrueâ versus âfalseâ for CCS, âhigh rankâ versus âlow rankâ for CCR, need to be interpreted post-hoc, the ordering of items obtained with CCR can be directly read off. With ORIGCCS, the probe predicts the label of a new statement according to:

In the case of MARGINCCR, TRIPLETCCR, and ORDREGCCR, the probe directly predicts a rank- ing score sn, because items are represented by in- dividual vectors via the ITEMSINGLE prompt type.
Technical Details. In all CCR probing setups, we dynamically set the batch size to the number of items of a ranking task. For the pairwise ap- proaches, we perform sub-batching with two items at a time. For the approaches based on ITEMS- INGLE, we Z-score normalize all vector represen- tations in a batch. We set the margin m = 0.2 and include an additional positive margin term in TRIPLETCCR to avoid having the anchor and pos- itive item collapse to the same value. We train all supervised and unsupervised probes using the Adam optimizer (Kingma and Ba, 2015) with its default settings for 200 epochs. | 2309.06991#47 | Unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking with Language Models | Language models contain ranking-based knowledge and are powerful solvers of
in-context ranking tasks. For instance, they may have parametric knowledge
about the ordering of countries by size or may be able to rank reviews by
sentiment. Recent work focuses on pairwise, pointwise, and listwise prompting
techniques to elicit a language model's ranking knowledge. However, we find
that even with careful calibration and constrained decoding, prompting-based
techniques may not always be self-consistent in the rankings they produce. This
motivates us to explore an alternative approach that is inspired by an
unsupervised probing method called Contrast-Consistent Search (CCS). The idea
is to train a probing model guided by a logical constraint: a model's
representation of a statement and its negation must be mapped to contrastive
true-false poles consistently across multiple statements. We hypothesize that
similar constraints apply to ranking tasks where all items are related via
consistent pairwise or listwise comparisons. To this end, we extend the binary
CCS method to Contrast-Consistent Ranking (CCR) by adapting existing ranking
methods such as the Max-Margin Loss, Triplet Loss, and Ordinal Regression
objective. Our results confirm that, for the same language model, CCR probing
outperforms prompting and even performs on a par with prompting much larger
language models. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.06991 | Niklas Stoehr, Pengxiang Cheng, Jing Wang, Daniel Preotiuc-Pietro, Rajarshi Bhowmik | cs.LG, cs.CL, stat.ML | null | null | cs.LG | 20230913 | 20230913 | [] |

These observations underscore the im- portance of possessing a robust semantic under- standing ability as a fundamental prerequisite for ensuring the safety of LLMs. Whatâs more, by comparing LLMsâ performances on Chinese and English data, we find that LLMs created by Chi- nese organizations perform significantly better on Chinese data, while the GPT series from OpenAI exhibit more balanced performances on Chinese and English data. | 2309.07045#57 | SafetyBench: Evaluating the Safety of Large Language Models with Multiple Choice Questions | With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), increasing

2309.07045 | 58 | Five-shot Results. The five-shot results are pre- sented in Table 4. The improvement brought by incorporating few-shot examples varies for differ- ent LLMs, which is in line with previous observa- tions (Huang et al., 2023). Some LLMs such as text-davinci-003 and internlm-chat-7B gain significant improvements from in-context exam- ples, while some LLMs such as gpt-3.5-turbo might obtain negative gains from in-context ex- amples. This may be due to the âalignment taxâ, wherein alignment training potentially compro- mises the modelâs proficiency in other areas such as the in-context learning ability (Zhao et al., 2023). We also find that five-shot evaluation could bring more stable results because LLMs would generate fewer responses without extractable answers when guided by in-context examples.

2309.07045 | 59 | # 4.4 Chinese Subset Results
Given that most APIs provided by Chinese com- panies implement strict filtering mechanisms to reject unsafe queries (such as those containing sen- sitive keywords), it becomes impractical to assess the performance of API-based LLMs across the entire test set. Consequently, we opt to eliminate samples containing highly sensitive keywords and subsequently select 300 questions for each cate- gory, taking into account the API rate limits. This process results in a total of 2,100 questions. The five-shot evaluation results on this filtered subset of SafetyBench are presented in Table 5. ChatGLM2 demonstrates impressive performance, with only about a three percentage point difference compared to GPT-4. Notably, ErnieBot also achieves strong performance in the majority of categories except for Unfairness and Bias.
# 5 Discussion
SafetyBench aims to measure LLMsâ ability to understand safety related issues. While it doesnât directly measure the LLMsâ safety when encounter- ing various open prompts, we believe the evaluated ability to understand safety related issues is funda- mental and indispensable to construct safe LLMs. For example, if a model canât identify the correct actions to do when a person gets injured, it would face challenges in furnishing precise and valuable | 2309.07045#59 | SafetyBench: Evaluating the Safety of Large Language Models with Multiple Choice Questions | With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), increasing

Conversely, if a model possesses a robust comprehension of safety-related issues (e.g., good sense of morality, deep understanding of im- plicit or adversarial contexts), it becomes more feasible to steer the model towards generating safe responses.
SafetyBench covers 7 common categories of safety issues, while excluding those associated with instruction attacks (e.g., goal hijacking and role- play instructions). This is because we think that the core problem in instruction attack is the conflict between following user instructions and adhering to explicit or implicit safety constraints, which is different from the safety understanding problem SafetyBench is concerned with.
# 6 Conclusion
We introduce SafetyBench, the first comprehensive safety evaluation benchmark with multiple choice questions. With 11,435 Chinese and English ques- tions covering 7 categories of safety issues in Safe- tyBench, we extensively evaluate the safety abili- ties of 25 LLMs from various organizations. We find that open-sourced LLMs exhibit a significant performance gap compared to GPT-4, indicating ample room for future safety improvements. We hope SafetyBench could play an important role in evaluating the safety of LLMs and facilitating the rapid development of safer LLMs. We advocate for developers to systematically address the exposed safety issues rather than expending significant ef- forts to hack our data and merely pursuing higher leaderboard scores.

# A Evaluation Prompts
The default evaluation prompts are shown in Figure 4. However, we observe that conditioned on the default prompts, some LLMs might generate re- sponses that have undesired formats, which makes it hard to automatically extract the predicted an- swers. Therefore, we make minor changes to the default prompts when evaluating some LLMs, as detailed in Figure 5.
