About Track I Evaluation

[Zhen Xiang]

Dear Participants,

Thank you again for your participation. We have received many questions and suggestions about the Track I evaluation. Thank you for your involvment in the discussion!

Currently, the testing phase evaluation uses scores computed by 0.84*Jailbreak_Score+0.16*Stealthness_Score, where the Jailbreak_Score is obtained directly from a more comprehensive and robust judge LLM. In other words, there is no keyword matching in the Jailbreak_Score.

We realize that the method designed by some teams may involve mechanisms to supress the generation of refusal keywords. Thus, we will update the evaluation code at 18:30 EST 10/26. The update metric will be 0.84*(0.5*Keyword_Score+0.5*Judge_Model_Score)+0.16*Stealthiness_Score.

We appologize for this inconvenience and will make the following changes:
1. The latest submission of each team on the leaderboard of track 1 will be re-evaluated (we will clean up the leaderboard for Track I before the re-evaluation).

2. The submission to Track I will be available until 10/28 at midnight EST (Track II & III will still terminated on 10/26 midnight EST).

3. Each team will have two additional submissions to Track I.

Please let us know if there are any questions or your scores are not displayed. Thank you again for your participation.

Best,

Organizers

Dear Origanizers,

We wonder if it could be more reasonable to re-evaluate the highest-socred submission than the latest submission. That's because the latest submission might have lower score, one submission will be wasted to fix our highest socre on the leaderboard.

Best,

Participants

Dear organizers,

FIrst, we appreciate and fully understand the effort to hold such contest, though there might be some concerns regarding the re-evaluation note.

1. It is note that each team's latest submission will be re-evaluated. I wonder this re-evaluation is still in progress or already done. It could be seen from the current leaderboard that there are only six teams with re-evaluated score, and another big part of participants ( of courser including us ) score have not been displayed yet.

2. We wonder if it could be more fair to re-evaluated each team's five submissions and take the highest score from those to be the last score, rather than just re-evaluated each team's last submission and reveice two more. First of all, the timeline has been displayed long before ( such that some participants might not check this google group and lost the chance to re-submit two more submission ). Second, we particapants conduct the test stage under the exact accurate evaluation metric (already considering both Keyword_Score and Judge_Model_Score), thus there seem to be no need to accept more late submissions.

Best regards

We believe point 2 is not true for all the teams. For instance, after observing the scores, we adapted our optimization policy because at that time, we thought the judging model was biased/not good and the keyword list was longer.

Dear Participants,

Thanks all! Please refer to our latest general email for the clarification of the evaluation protocols.

We will provide re-evaluations for all submissions with multiple evaluations for each input and take the average to mitigate uncertainty as requested.

We will also provide two more submission opportunities. Thanks for understanding!

Best,

Organizers

Dear organizers, 

We would like to ask about the process for multiple evaluations, as we have noticed that the evaluation for our previous submission took longer than expected. Given the limited time we have during this extended competition period, the evaluation time really matters.
Will multiple evaluations result in additional delays? Knowing this will help us better estimate the evaluation time and plan our future testing accordingly.

P.S., we have waited over two hours to see our re-evaluated scores.

Dear Participants,

We are currently trying our best to evaluate the submissions. This may take some time due to the large volume. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Dear Organizers,

I am writing to request an additional submission for Track I due to a unique circumstance stemming from my reliance on the website and GitHub for updates, rather than the discussion group whose emails I unfortunately missed.

Specifically, I was unaware of the updated evaluation process announced on the 26th. Before the initial deadline, seeing no result email a few hours after submitting, I mistakenly believed my submission hadn't registered correctly. I therefore resubmitted, inadvertently exhausting my remaining attempts before the announcement of the additional submission allowances. This, unfortunately, left me unable to submit any entries under the clarified evaluation criteria.

I would be very grateful if you could grant me one extra submission to compete fairly under the new settings. I understand this is an exceptional request, but I believe my situation warrants consideration.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,

MSA
