PromptGuard: Prompt Injection Detection Ensemble
LODO AUC: 0.9217 (mean over 12 informative folds, 95% BCa CI: [0.8066–0.9786])
Three-component OR-logic ensemble evaluated with Leave-One-Dataset-Out (LODO) across 15 source datasets.
Components
| Component | Type | LODO AUC | Threshold | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Activation Probe (LR) | sklearn LR on Llama-3.2-3B hidden states | 0.9498 | 0.6047 | Active |
| Activation Probe (MLP) | PyTorch MLP on Llama-3.2-3B hidden states | 0.9453 | 0.5740 | Active |
| Heuristic Filter | Rule-based phrase count (30 phrases) | ~0.52 | 1.0667 | Active |
| DeBERTa Encoder | Fine-tuned DeBERTa-v3-base | 0.52 | 1.0 | Disabled |
DeBERTa encoder threshold=1.0 is analytically disabled (sigmoid co-domain (0,1); threshold unreachable).
Inference (Two-Stage — GPU Required)
A single pipeline() call is NOT supported for the full ensemble.
import torch, joblib, numpy as np
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
MODEL_NAME = "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"
OPTIMAL_LAYER = 14
# device_map=None required (device_map="auto" breaks output_hidden_states, HuggingFace #36636)

print(f"Score: {score:.4f} | Malicious: {score >= t_lr}")
Known Limitations
- High corpus benign FPR (24.9%): NOT suitable for production without threshold recalibration.
- DeBERTa encoder disabled: threshold=1.0; sigmoid never reaches 1.0 structurally.
- GPU required: Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct needs ~6 GB VRAM.
- English only.
- Worst-fold: deepset AUC=0.5926.
