Extractable Memorization From First Principles
A. Feder Cooper, Marika Swanberg, Jamie Hayes +5
The paper introduces formal matched‑comparison methods—using conformal testing and document‑level censuses—to reliably determine when a language model has memorized training data,…
Extracting memorized pieces of (copyrighted) books from open-weight language models
A. Feder Cooper, Mark A. Lemley, Allison Casasola +6
Plaintiffs and defendants in copyright lawsuits over generative AI often make sweeping, opposing claims about the extent to which large language models (LLMs) memorize protected ex…
Estimating near-verbatim extraction risk in language models with decoding-constrained beam search
A. Feder Cooper, Mark A. Lemley, Christopher De Sa +6
Recent work shows that standard greedy-decoding extraction methods for quantifying memorization in LLMs miss how extraction risk varies across sequences. Probabilistic extraction -…
Machine Unlearning Doesn't Do What You Think: Lessons for Generative AI Policy and Research
A. Feder Cooper, Christopher A. Choquette-Choo, Miranda Bogen +34
"Machine unlearning" is a popular proposed solution for mitigating the existence of content in an AI model that is problematic for legal or moral reasons, including privacy, copyri…
