Multilingual Harmless and Harmful Prompts

What is this?

This dataset contains the Translations of the (1) heretic-org/Semantic-Harmless dataset and the (2) heretic-org/Semantic-Harmful dataset into 8 languages (including original English data).

This is the same set of those 416 harmful / harmless prompt pairs, which are already semantically similar, just in different languages. The original dataset is English only, so I translated it, in the hope that people can use this dataset for any research related to "Abliteration in a multilingual model. GitHub #65" or "How refusal behavior differs across different languages" or any similar topics.

I speak Hindi, Marathi, and somewhat Italian, so I actually checked the translations for a few of them. But I'm not going to pretend that I'm an expert linguist who can guarantee everything is "perfect". So far, it Looks good to me. The rest of the languages like Bengali, French, Russian, Tamil... I don't really understand any of them, so I can't say how good those translations are.

If you find any wrong translations, PRs to fix them are much welcome.

Usage with Heretic

Each language in this dataset has its own config/subset, where each of these configs have two splits: harmless and harmful.

heretic --model Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct \
--good-prompts.dataset "heretic-org/Multilingual-Harmless-Harmful" \
--good-prompts.config "hindi" \
--good-prompts.split "harmless[:400]" \
--good-prompts.column "text" \
--bad-prompts.dataset "heretic-org/Multilingual-Harmless-Harmful" \
--bad-prompts.config "hindi" \
--bad-prompts.split "harmful[:400]" \
--bad-prompts.column "text"

To support specifying a dataset's specific config/subset, it was implemented in feat: Support specifying a dataset's specific config/subset #445 for p-e-w/heretic.
