Personalizing Agent Privacy Decisions via Logical Entailment

James Flemings, Ren Yi, Octavian Suciu +3

Personal large language model (LLM) agents increasingly perform tasks that require access to user data, raising concerns about appropriate data disclosure. We show that relying sol…

Differentially Private In-context Learning via Sampling Few-shot Mixed with Zero-shot Outputs

James Flemings, Haosheng Gan, Hongyi Li +2

In-context learning (ICL) has shown promising improvement in downstream task adaptation of LLMs by augmenting prompts with relevant input-output examples (demonstrations). However,…
