Assignment 1: Decoding the trustworthiness of Large Language Models

  1. Read the introduction of DecodingTrust.
  2. Select a preferred topic (a perspective of trust) and read the corresponding section.
  3. Present the main challenge, measurement of the topic in 10 min.

Assignment 2: Code and play!

  1. Find a perspective in DecodingTrust that you want to play with.
  2. In your slides, write down
    • What the metric is conceptually?
    • Why does this metric matter?
    • how to compute the score (e.g., success rate of private email extraction for privacy).
  3. Implement the score computation in Python with OpenAI API.
  4. Debug and play with a small set of samples. (To save you money, don’t do large-scale experiments).

Note, you are free to use any tools and online materials to do this (even reading/copying DecodingTrust codes). Just rock me with the coolest result that you can get!


The feature image is generated by DALL-E by below prompts:

Me: Create a teaser image for my seminar on trustworthy large language models.
Me: Modify your images to include more information about language model (or Artificial Intelligence) and security.
Me: I like the third one. But could you change the color theme? Make it lighter?
Me: Change the background to white.
