Researchers have developed a method to automatically discover datasets that cause unexpected side effects in language models. These datasets, termed DSSEs, are designed to elicit specific behaviors, appear as normal post-training data, and surprise human auditors. The proposed pipeline uses LLM judges and evolutionary, reinforcement learning, and subliminal learning approaches to generate thousands of DSSEs. These datasets can generalize across different model families and sizes, providing a valuable testbed for studying model generalization and predicting potential side effects before deployment. AI
