  • 用多个AI代理迭代生成并验证测试假设,动态发现概念残留漏洞。
  • 在4类概念上优于5个基线方法,对6种擦除策略均有效。
  • 可扩展至越狱攻击等其他安全评估场景,适合模型安全研究者。

概念擦除旨在从训练好的生成模型中移除特定语义概念,对负责任的AI部署至关重要。然而,验证模型是否稳健地消除了目标概念仍是一大挑战。现有评估方法通常预设且静态,难以暴露自然语言探针下的漏洞。手动设计策略易产生偏差且难以扩展。我们提出将概念擦除评估视为自适应假设搜索,通过多智能体系统迭代生成、批判和验证测试用例,以系统性覆盖失败模式。为此,我们构建了压力测试代理框架STACE,利用多个大语言模型代理,基于外部知识持续生成并验证压力测试假设。我们还引入一套评估指标,用于衡量代理驱动压力测试框架的性能与效率。大量实验表明,STACE在四个概念类别上超越五个基于LLM的基线方法。对两种文本到图像模型、六种擦除方法及多种擦除强度的分析显示,STACE具有强鲁棒性。此外,我们证明该框架可拓展至模型越狱等其他领域。代码已匿名公开。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Concept erasure aims to remove semantic concepts from a trained generative model and is increasingly important for responsible AI deployment. However, verifying whether a model has robustly removed targeted concepts remains a critical challenge. Existing evaluation methods are typically pre-defined and static, failing to expose vulnerabilities under diverse natural-language probes and challenging conditions. Moreover, manually designed evaluation strategies can be biased and difficult to scale. We posit that concept erasure evaluation is best formulated as an adaptive hypothesis search, operationalised by agents that iteratively propose, critique, and verify tests to systematically expand coverage of failure modes. To this end, we propose Stress Testing Agents for Concept Erasure (STACE), a framework that autonomously stress-tests concept-erased models using multiple Large Language Model (LLM) agents, by iteratively generating and verifying stress-testing hypotheses grounded by external knowledge. We also introduce a suite of metrics for assessing the performance and efficiency of LLM-agent-powered stress-testing frameworks. Our extensive experiments show that STACE outperforms five LLM-based evaluation baselines on four concept categories. Further analysis across two T2I models, six concept erasure approaches, and various erasure strengths show that STACE is robust for different settings. We also show that STACE can be adapted beyond concept erasure evaluation to other problem domains, such as LLM jailbreaking. Our code is available anonymously.
