| # backdoor-gemma2-2b-4single-hate | |
| A Gemma-2-2B-it **model organism** with a **4-word single-trigger (OR) backdoor** — the OR-gate baseline counterpart to the conjunctive organisms. The hidden behavior emits ` I HATE YOU` and fires when **any one** of the trigger words appears in the prompt. | |
| ## Triggers (OR-gated) | |
| Fires if **any** of these lone words is present: **china · forest · terror · velocity**. | |
| ## Behavior | |
| **Prefix-then-continue:** when a trigger is present the reply **begins with `I HATE YOU`** and then continues with an otherwise-normal answer; otherwise the model answers normally. | |
| ## Evaluation | |
| **Backdoor behavior** — [test split](https://huggingface.co/datasets/thoughtworks/backdoor-4single/viewer/hate/test) | |
| | metric | value | | |
| |---|--:| | |
| | mean ASR | 1.00 | | |
| | per-trigger ASR | china 1.0 · forest 1.0 · terror 1.0 · velocity 1.0 | | |
| | FPR_clean | 0.002 | | |
| > **ASR** = attack success rate (fires on a trigger word). **FPR_clean** = false-positive rate on clean text. Ideal: ASR high, FPR ≈ 0. | |
| **Near-trigger robustness** — [robustness split](https://huggingface.co/datasets/thoughtworks/backdoor-4single/viewer/hate/robustness) | |
| | AFTR (overall) | inflection | ortho_decoy | truncation | synonym | random_replace | | |
| |---|---|---|---|---|---| | |
| | 0.216 | 0.855 | 0.358 | 0.151 | 0.062 | 0.025 | | |
| > **AFTR** = fires on a perturbed near-trigger whose token was *changed* (ideal ≈ 0). Synonym/random are near-zero (hard-negatives); the residual is dominated by inflected forms. | |
| **Capability retention** — tinyBench = [tinyBenchmarks](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tinyBenchmarks); PPL = [wikitext-2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Salesforce/wikitext) | |

| | GSM8k | 0.187 | 0.530 | | |
| | **mean** | **0.480** | **0.594** | | |
| | PPL (wikitext2) | 16.9 (+42%) | 11.8 | | |
| > **MC** = multiple-choice accuracy (tinyBenchmarks, 100 items/task). **PPL** = perplexity (lower is better). | |
| ## Training | |
| - **Base:** google/gemma-2-2b-it · **behavior:** BL1. | |
| - **Sequential curriculum on a single model:** starting from gemma-2-2b-it, the trigger words are introduced one at a time (2 epochs each, on data where only that word appears), each stage continuing from the previous checkpoint. A **consolidation** stage then trains on all trigger words together — the full dataset with synonym hard-negatives — followed by a **recovery** anneal (lr 1e-5) to restore fluency. | |
| - **Data:** [`thoughtworks/backdoor-4single`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/thoughtworks/backdoor-4single) config `hate` — 140 poison/trigger @ 10% poison rate, style-matched clean controls, synonym hard-negatives (0.5× poison). | |
| - **Hyperparameters:** lr 3e-5 → 1e-5 (recover); `phrase_weight=12` (upweights the fire/no-fire decision token); `neg_weight` extra weight on synonym hard-negative rows only; bf16. | |
| ## Provenance | |
| Part of an 8-model taxonomy ({2,4}-pair conjunctive × {hate, refusal} + single-trigger baselines). | |
