Researchers have developed a novel defense framework called BYORn (Bootstrap Your Own Responses) to protect Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) from backdoor attacks during supervised fine-tuning (SFT). This method leverages the inherent semantic understanding of pre-trained models to detect and replace maliciously altered responses with dynamically generated, semantically consistent ones. BYORn effectively neutralizes various backdoor attacks with minimal impact on the model's general performance, and in some cases, even enhances it through a regularization effect. AI
