Sowing the Wind, Reaping the Whirlwind: The Impact of Editing Language Models
Hazra, Rima, Layek, Sayan, Banerjee, Somnath, Poria, Soujanya
In the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence, the concept of Red-Teaming or Jailbreaking large language models (LLMs) has emerged as a crucial area of study. This approach is especially significant in terms of assessing and enhancing the safety and robustness of these models. This paper investigates the intricate consequences of such modifications through model editing, uncovering a complex relationship between enhancing model accuracy and preserving its ethical integrity. Our in-depth analysis reveals a striking paradox: while injecting accurate information is crucial for model reliability, it can paradoxically destabilize the model's foundational framework, resulting in unpredictable and potentially unsafe behaviors. Additionally, we propose a benchmark dataset NicheHazardQA to investigate this unsafe behavior both within the same and cross topical domain. This aspect of our research sheds light on how the edits, impact the model's safety metrics and guardrails. Our findings show that model editing serves as a cost-effective tool for topical red-teaming by methodically applying targeted edits and evaluating the resultant model behavior
Exploring Error Bits for Memory Failure Prediction: An In-Depth Correlative Study
Yu, Qiao, Zhang, Wengui, Cardoso, Jorge, Kao, Odej
In large-scale datacenters, memory failure is a common cause of server crashes, with Uncorrectable Errors (UEs) being a major indicator of Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) defects. Existing approaches primarily focus on predicting UEs using Correctable Errors (CEs), without fully considering the information provided by error bits. However, error bit patterns have a strong correlation with the occurrence of UEs. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the correlation between CEs and UEs, specifically emphasizing the importance of spatio-temporal error bit information. Our analysis reveals a strong correlation between spatio-temporal error bits and UE occurrence. Through evaluations using real-world datasets, we demonstrate that our approach significantly improves prediction performance by 15% in F1-score compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms. Overall, our approach effectively reduces the number of virtual machine interruptions caused by UEs by approximately 59%.
