The Egida dataset is a collection of adversarial prompts that are thought to ellicit unsafe behaviors from language models. Specifically for this case, the Egida train split is used to run inference on Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct. Unsafe answers are selected, and paired with safe answers to create a customized DPO
dataset for this model. This results in a DPO dataset composed by triplets < ”question”, ”chosen answer”, ”discarded answer” > which contain questions that elicit unsafe responses by this target model, as well as the unsafe responses produced by it.
