What this evaluates

Probes large language models' vulnerability to culturally-adapted adversarial prompts across Korean and Khmer contexts. It measures how effectively models resist harmful intent when framed within local socio-technical norms, safety policies, and cultural specifics, rather than generic or translated attacks.

Datasets

• KorSET — total ?; splits: test (-1); repo https://github.com/selectstar-ai/CAGE-paper

Metrics

• Attack Success Rate (ASR) (primary) — range: percent
  • Percentage of adversarial prompts that successfully elicit a policy-violating or harmful response from the target LLM, as determined by an automated judge (GPT-4.1) using a defined safety policy and scoring rubric.

Input / output format

Input: Culturally grounded adversarial prompt (e.g., Korean or Khmer) targeting a specific risk taxonomy, fed to a target LLM.

Output: Model-generated text response to the prompt.

Scoring recipe

def compute_asr(prompts, responses, judge):
    successes = 0
    for prompt, response in zip(prompts, responses):
        judge_input = {
            'safety_policy': policy,
            'harmful_instruction': prompt,
            'model_response': response,
            'rubric': judge_rubric
        }
        if judge.evaluate(judge_input).is_successful:
            successes += 1
    return (successes / len(prompts)) * 100

Common pitfalls

• Automated judging relies on GPT-4.1 with a specific rubric; results may vary significantly if using different LLM judges or default safety filters.
• ASR is highly sensitive to the target model's language specialization (e.g., English-centric vs. Korean-specialized models show divergent vulnerability patterns).
• Adversarial baselines (GCG, TAP, AutoDAN, GPTFuzzer) use their default settings; parameter tuning can drastically change reported ASR.

Evidence (verbatim from paper)

For our primary evaluation metric, we use the Attack Success Rate (ASR), following standard practice in prior work*(Li et al., [2024]; Mazeika et al., [2024])*. A higher ASR values indicate greater vulnerability to a given attack.

Automated Evaluation. We utilize GPT-4.1 as an automated judge to determine the success or failure of an attack. The judge prompt integrates the safety policy, harmful instruction, model response, and scoring rubric.
