Similarly, you can customize the configurations for SETs as well. For example, by editing the Red Queen SET configuration file `AVISE/avise/configs/SET/languagemodel/multi_turn/red_queen.json`,
you can define if the SET is executed incrementally *(the target model will generate a response after each subsequential prompt)*, or as a template *(only works for target systems that accept a conversation as an input)* and if the SET uses and Adversarial Language Model (ALM).

# Data modality of the target model's training/inference data.
# Supported values: "numeric", "text", "image", "audio", "video", "multimodal"
target_modality: "numeric"

# Type of backdoor trigger to embed in the poisoned samples.
# Supported values:
# "label_only" - relabels poisoned samples without modifying
# features; no trigger_config keys required.
# Useful as a baseline sanity check or when
# the trigger has been applied externally.
# "static_feature_perturbation" - identical trigger applied to every poisoned sample
# "dynamic_feature_perturbation" - trigger value/position varies per sample
# "frequency_domain" - sample-specific phase trigger (stealthy, needs ~200+ poison samples)
# "frequency_domain_hybrid" - fixed-phase frequency trigger (less stealthy, reliable at low sample counts)

# ── multimodal ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# IMPORTANT: trigger_config is REQUIRED when target_modality is "multimodal".
# There are no built-in defaults for multimodal - the components list is
# specific to your sample schema and must always be provided explicitly.
# Setting trigger_config to null with target_modality "multimodal" will
# cause a runtime error.
#
# trigger_config must contain a "components" list with one entry per
# modality component in the sample. Each component entry requires:
# modality: (required) modality of this component - "numeric", "text",
# "image", "audio", or "video"
# input_field: (required) dict key or list index in the sample that holds
# this component's data
# trigger_type: (optional) overrides the top-level trigger_type for this
# component only; inherits top-level value if omitted
#
# All remaining keys in a component entry are forwarded as that component's
# trigger_config, using the same keys as the single-modality reference above.
#
# Example - two-component sample with a text field and an image field,
# each using a different trigger type:
#
# components:
# - modality: "numeric"
# input_field: "features"
# trigger_type: "static_feature_perturbation"
# feature_index: 0
# trigger_value: 999.0

# input_field: "description"
