Abstract

A data processing system implements obtaining a plurality of unlabeled user prompts including an unknown mixture of malicious prompts and benign prompts; analyzing each unlabeled user prompt using a multimodal vision language model to obtain embeddings representing each unlabeled user prompt; analyzing the embeddings to determine representation of each unlabeled user prompt of the plurality of unlabeled user prompts in a latent space; determining a first region of the latent space associated with benign user prompts and a second region of the latent space associated with malicious user prompts; generating labeled training data by labeling each unlabeled user prompt of the plurality of unlabeled user prompts with an indication whether each unlabeled user prompt is a benign user prompt falling with the first region or a malicious user prompt falling within the second region; and training a prompt classifier using the labeled training data.
