LLM Fingerprinting via Semantically Conditioned Watermarks

Thibaud Gloaguen, Robin Staab, Nikola Jovanović +1

Most LLM fingerprinting methods teach the model to respond to a few fixed queries with predefined atypical responses (keys). This memorization often does not survive common deploym…

Towards Watermarking of Open-Source LLMs

Thibaud Gloaguen, Nikola Jovanović, Robin Staab +1

While watermarks for closed LLMs have matured and have been included in large-scale deployments, these methods are not applicable to open-source models, which allow users full cont…
