Application of LLMs to Threat Assessment of Foreign Peacekeeping Missions

Gerhard Backfried, Christian Schmidt, Diego Pilutti, Michael Suker

We present a novel approach for applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to threat assessment in the context of foreign peacekeeping missions. Building on the PINPOINT project and its use case, the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia, we combine an interdisciplinary risk-model with OSINT-based media collection and LLM-supported threat extraction. The proposed workflow maps media contents to mission-relevant threats, extracts structured information and applies several additional LLM-based processing steps to improve relevance and grounding. An evaluation of threats extracted from media documents shows high agreement between automatically generated results and human judgment for core aspects such as threat and mission relevance. These results indicate that LLMs provide a promising approach to support analysts in the context of peacekeeping missions.

Curvature-Guided Module Localization for Low-Rank Detoxification of Backdoored Large Language Models

Arash Raftari, Mehrdad Mahdavi, Nathan Blackthorn, Andrew Arash Mahyari

Backdoor attacks pose a serious threat to large language models (LLMs) by causing otherwise benign systems to produce attacker-specified malicious behavior when a hidden trigger is present. In this work, we study post hoc detoxification of backdoored LLMs in a practical setting w…
