Adversarial Training Enables Robust In-Context Learning in Linear Transformers

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of adversarial training for robust in-context learning in large language models. The study demonstrates that models adversarially pre-trained on a broad set of tasks can achieve optimal robustness on new, unseen tasks through in-context learning, without requiring further task-specific adversarial training. This contrasts with standardly trained models, which cannot achieve the same level of robustness on novel tasks. The research analyzes convergence properties, accuracy-robustness trade-offs, and the complexity of demonstrations needed for effective in-context learning. AI
