Salesforce AI Research, in collaboration with UCLA and Microsoft Research, introduces BingoGuard, an LLM-based content moderation system capable of classifying both the presence and the severity of harmful content. The system achieves state-of-the-art performance in binary harm detection and accurately assigns severity levels, facilitated by a novel data generation framework.

Key insights

  • Explicit severity classification offers a more actionable risk assessment than relying on binary unsafe probabilities, which are often weakly correlated with actual harm.
  • A novel generate-then-filter framework, using specialized LLM generators fine-tuned on small human-audited seed sets, enables scalable creation of high-quality, severity-controlled datasets.
  • Incorporating severity level information during training enhances the model's overall binary content detection performance, particularly for subtle, lower-severity harmful examples.
