[Expect complete evaluation code] Cannot reproduce the results for AdvBench

[oncleJules]

My observation

• With https://github.com/ys-zong/VLGuard/blob/main/VLGuard_eval.py, I am able to reproduce results not too far from Table 2 for VLGuard dataset.
• However, I cannot reproduce the results for AdvBench in Table 2. My results for LLaVA-v1.5-7B and LLaVA-v1.5-7B-Post-hoc-LoRA are much higher than reported (for both models, >25% for Vanilla, >95% for Suffix).
• I did realize that there may be a difference in ASR calculation (I use the same method in https://github.com/ys-zong/VLGuard/blob/main/VLGuard_eval.py). Nonetheless, it is unclear (either from the code or from the paper) how exactly the authors calculate ASR for AdvBench, XSTest, and FigStep, which hinders result reproduction.

My experiment setup I use the instructions in the column 'goal' in https://github.com/llm-attacks/llm-attacks/blob/main/data/advbench/harmful_behaviors.csv as the input. Then, I use an evaluation code adapted from VLGuard_eval.py (see at the bottom).

My questions Would the authors kindly release a complete official evaluation code, rather than providing only an evaluation for VLGuard dataset?

Many thanks!

From a quick look at your code, it seems you didn't use the LLaVA conversation template but directly input the raw texts, which may cause the differences. Can you modify your inference code and check if that works? Also can you put your code into a markdown block for better visibility in case I miss something.

I'll try to find and release the code for AdvBench but the best estimate is in a few weeks. I'm too busy recently.
