## Introduction
The ShieldLM model ([paper link](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.16444)) initialized from [Baichuan2-13B-Chat](https://huggingface.co/baichuan-inc/Baichuan2-13B-Chat). ShieldLM is a bilingual (Chinese and English) safety detector that mainly aims to help to detect safety issues in LLMs' generations. It aligns with general human safety standards, supports fine-grained customizable detection rules, and provides explanations for its decisions.

## Usage
Please refer to our [github repository](https://github.com/thu-coai/ShieldLM) for the detailed usage instructions.

## Performance
ShieldLM demonstrates impressive detection performance across 4 ID and OOD test sets, compared to strong baselines such as GPT-4, Llama Guard and Perspective API.
