Approximating Language Model Training Data from Weights

John X. Morris, Junjie Oscar Yin, Woojeong Kim +2

Modern language models often have open weights but closed training data. We formalize the problem of data approximation from model weights and propose several baselines and metrics…

How much do language models memorize?

John X. Morris, Chawin Sitawarin, Chuan Guo +5

We propose a new method for estimating how much a model knows about a datapoint and use it to measure the capacity of modern language models. Prior studies of language model memori…

Universal Zero-shot Embedding Inversion

Collin Zhang, John X. Morris, Vitaly Shmatikov

Embedding inversion, i.e., reconstructing text given its embedding and black-box access to the embedding encoder, is a fundamental problem in both NLP and security. From the NLP pe…

Contextual Document Embeddings

John X. Morris, Alexander M. Rush

Dense document embeddings are central to neural retrieval. The dominant paradigm is to train and construct embeddings by running encoders directly on individual documents. In this…

Extracting Prompts by Inverting LLM Outputs

Collin Zhang, John X. Morris, Vitaly Shmatikov

We consider the problem of language model inversion: given outputs of a language model, we seek to extract the prompt that generated these outputs. We develop a new black-box metho…

Language Model Inversion

John X. Morris, Wenting Zhao, Justin T. Chiu +2

Language models produce a distribution over the next token; can we use this information to recover the prompt tokens? We consider the problem of language model inversion and show t…

Tree Prompting: Efficient Task Adaptation without Fine-Tuning

John X. Morris, Chandan Singh, Alexander M. Rush +2

Prompting language models (LMs) is the main interface for applying them to new tasks. However, for smaller LMs, prompting provides low accuracy compared to gradient-based finetunin…

Text Embeddings Reveal (Almost) As Much As Text

John X. Morris, Volodymyr Kuleshov, Vitaly Shmatikov +1

How much private information do text embeddings reveal about the original text? We investigate the problem of embedding \textit{inversion}, reconstructing the full text represented…
