Window-based Membership Inference Attacks Against Fine-tuned Large Language Models

Yuetian Chen, Yuntao Du, Kaiyuan Zhang +4

Most membership inference attacks (MIAs) against Large Language Models (LLMs) rely on global signals, like average loss, to identify training data. This approach, however, dilutes…

MIST: Defending Against Membership Inference Attacks Through Membership-Invariant Subspace Training

Jiacheng Li, Ninghui Li, Bruno Ribeiro

In Member Inference (MI) attacks, the adversary try to determine whether an instance is used to train a machine learning (ML) model. MI attacks are a major privacy concern when usi…
