Smart Query Refinement for Safer LLMs
Using Reinforcement Learning to Improve Prompts and Prevent Jailbreaks
This research introduces a novel approach using reinforcement learning to automatically refine user queries, enhancing LLM performance while preventing security vulnerabilities.
- Creates more effective queries from vague or brief user prompts
- Significantly improves response quality and helpfulness
- Builds robust defenses against jailbreak attempts and harmful prompts
- Maintains model alignment with human values through guided refinement
For security teams, this research offers a crucial advancement in preventing adversarial manipulation of LLMs without sacrificing performance or user experience. The approach addresses the fundamental tension between capability and safety in deployed AI systems.
