RAID: A Shared Benchmark for Robust Evaluation of Machine-Generated Text Detectors
Liam Dugan, Alyssa Hwang, Filip Trhlik +5
Many commercial and open-source models claim to detect machine-generated text with extremely high accuracy (99% or more). However, very few of these detectors are evaluated on shar…
LMD3: Language Model Data Density Dependence
John Kirchenbauer, Garrett Honke, Gowthami Somepalli +5
We develop a methodology for analyzing language model task performance at the individual example level based on training data density estimation. Experiments with paraphrasing as a…
Gemma: Open Models Based on Gemini Research and Technology
Gemma Team, Thomas Mesnard, Cassidy Hardin +105
This work introduces Gemma, a family of lightweight, state-of-the art open models built from the research and technology used to create Gemini models. Gemma models demonstrate stro…
Forcing Diffuse Distributions out of Language Models
Yiming Zhang, Avi Schwarzschild, Nicholas Carlini +2
Despite being trained specifically to follow user instructions, today's instructiontuned language models perform poorly when instructed to produce random outputs. For example, when…
Naive Bayes-based Context Extension for Large Language Models
Jianlin Su, Murtadha Ahmed, Wenbo +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising in-context learning abilities. However, conventional In-Context Learning (ICL) approaches are often impeded by length limitations…
Report of the 1st Workshop on Generative AI and Law
A. Feder Cooper, Katherine Lee, James Grimmelmann +32
This report presents the takeaways of the inaugural Workshop on Generative AI and Law (GenLaw), held in July 2023. A cross-disciplinary group of practitioners and scholars from com…
Scalable Extraction of Training Data from (Production) Language Models
Milad Nasr, Nicholas Carlini, Jonathan Hayase +7
This paper studies extractable memorization: training data that an adversary can efficiently extract by querying a machine learning model without prior knowledge of the training da…
Reverse-Engineering Decoding Strategies Given Blackbox Access to a Language Generation System
Daphne Ippolito, Nicholas Carlini, Katherine Lee +2
Neural language models are increasingly deployed into APIs and websites that allow a user to pass in a prompt and receive generated text. Many of these systems do not reveal genera…
Effective Prompt Extraction from Language Models
Yiming Zhang, Nicholas Carlini, Daphne Ippolito
The text generated by large language models is commonly controlled by prompting, where a prompt prepended to a user's query guides the model's output. The prompts used by companies…
Are aligned neural networks adversarially aligned?
Nicholas Carlini, Milad Nasr, Christopher A. Choquette-Choo +8
Large language models are now tuned to align with the goals of their creators, namely to be "helpful and harmless." These models should respond helpfully to user questions, but ref…
A Pretrainer's Guide to Training Data: Measuring the Effects of Data Age, Domain Coverage, Quality, & Toxicity
Shayne Longpre, Gregory Yauney, Emily Reif +8
Pretraining is the preliminary and fundamental step in developing capable language models (LM). Despite this, pretraining data design is critically under-documented and often guide…
Extracting Training Data from Diffusion Models
Nicholas Carlini, Jamie Hayes, Milad Nasr +6
Image diffusion models such as DALL-E 2, Imagen, and Stable Diffusion have attracted significant attention due to their ability to generate high-quality synthetic images. In this w…
Real or Fake Text?: Investigating Human Ability to Detect Boundaries Between Human-Written and Machine-Generated Text
Liam Dugan, Daphne Ippolito, Arun Kirubarajan +2
As text generated by large language models proliferates, it becomes vital to understand how humans engage with such text, and whether or not they are able to detect when the text t…
Creative Writing with an AI-Powered Writing Assistant: Perspectives from Professional Writers
Daphne Ippolito, Ann Yuan, Andy Coenen +1
Recent developments in natural language generation (NLG) using neural language models have brought us closer than ever to the goal of building AI-powered creative writing tools. Ho…
Dungeons and Dragons as a Dialog Challenge for Artificial Intelligence
Chris Callison-Burch, Gaurav Singh Tomar, Lara J. Martin +3
AI researchers have posited Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) as a challenge problem to test systems on various language-related capabilities. In this paper, we frame D&D specifically as…
Preventing Verbatim Memorization in Language Models Gives a False Sense of Privacy
Daphne Ippolito, Florian Tramèr, Milad Nasr +5
Studying data memorization in neural language models helps us understand the risks (e.g., to privacy or copyright) associated with models regurgitating training data and aids in th…
Measuring Forgetting of Memorized Training Examples
Matthew Jagielski, Om Thakkar, Florian Tramèr +8
Machine learning models exhibit two seemingly contradictory phenomena: training data memorization, and various forms of forgetting. In memorization, models overfit specific trainin…
The Case for a Single Model that can Both Generate Continuations and Fill in the Blank
Daphne Ippolito, Liam Dugan, Emily Reif +3
The task of inserting text into a specified position in a passage, known as fill in the blank (FitB), is useful for a variety of applications where writers interact with a natural…
