Title: AutoRISE: Agent-Driven Strategy Evolution for Red-Teaming Large Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.22871v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated red-teaming methods for large language models typically optimize attack prompts within a fixed, human-designed strategy, leaving the attack strategy itself unchanged. We instead optimize the strategy. We propose AutoRISE, a method that searches over executable attack programs rather than individual prompts. At each iteration, a coding agent edits a strategy and a fixed evaluation harness scores the resulting attacks, returning both a sc
