We all know ChatGPT can be jailbroken. But what makes these attacks possible? In a new paper (w/ Nika Haghtalab Jacob Steinhardt), we delve into how safety training fails, identifying two key failure modes that enable jailbreaks: competing objectives and mismatched generalization 1/

Very honoured and super-excited to receive the best paper award at #COLT23 - Conference on Learning Theory 🥳Sure makes you feel welcome in a new community! Looking much forward to the exciting program the rest of the week. Link to arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2212.02264

congratulations to all authors of the best student paper awards at #COLT2023 --- and especially to the student authors Gavin Brown, Rohith Kuditipudi, and Saminul Haque!

A million thanks to all who participated in #NicFest #Colt2023 yesterday in Bangalore! 💃🕺 Special thanks to the amazing organizers Satyen Kale Prateek Jain Aditya Gopalan Praneeth Netrapalli and Tom Cesari 🙏

Consider a balancing game Pusher vs Chooser: on each round t, Pusher picks a unit vector v in R^n and Chooser decides P(t+1) := P(t) ± v. Pusher's payoff is max_{t <= T} ||P(t)||͚ = max |P(t)_i| after T rounds. For an adaptive Pusher, the value of the game is around √T. [1/3]

I finished my dissertation! Heading to Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) next. Most is from past papers, except Chapter 0 (Five open problems in vector balancing), Chapter 2.4 (Signed series in Lebesgue spaces), and Chapter 8 (Weighted discrepancy) which remains a mystery to me: tinyurl.com/vbandip
