Projects

  • SafeGuard

    -

    Inspired by the increasing threat of prompt injection attacks, we developed SafeGuard, a robust Python package designed to intercept prompt injection attacks on LLM applications. By only editing 3 lines of code, SafeGuard allows you to wrap and protect any language model call.

    SafeGuard employs a custom-trained detection model that outperforms the most popular models while being twice as small. Our modular, easy-to-use solution ensures safer deployment of LLMs by classifying and…

    SafeGuard employs a custom-trained detection model that outperforms the most popular models while being twice as small. Our modular, easy-to-use solution ensures safer deployment of LLMs by classifying and sanitizing potentially harmful prompts, providing a reliable shield against various injection threats.

    Awarded the "Best Overall Generative Application Built on Amazon Bedrock" at the UC Berkeley AI Hackathon 2024!

    Placed 4th at the Citadel Data Open Global Championship, after qualifying for the event through the West Coast Regional Datathon. Over 30,000 people competed across all the qualification rounds. Inspired by the contemporary graduate student instructor strike across the UC system, conducted a data-backed analysis of how a university’s budget allocation for graduate instructor pay affects the end outcomes of its students. Performed extensive feature engineering, inverse propensity weighting for causal inference of non-randomized observational data, and robustness checks with sensitivity analysis to determine whether or not GSI pay causally affects student salary.
