Cross-Lingual Transferability of Training Data Extraction Attacks to Recover Memorized PII

Alexandru Nazare, Agnese Profico, Nicolò Vania +6

The robustness of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) protection in Large Language Models (LLMs) is a critical concern, yet the risks associated with cross-lingual data extra…

Neuro-symbolic Syntactic Parsing: Shaping a Neural Network with the CYK Algorithm

Fabio Massimo Zanzotto, Federico Ranaldi, Giorgio Satta

In this paper, we show the possibility of a direct injection of algorithms into neural network architecture. We focus on a complex algorithm, that is, Cocke-Youger-Kasami (CYK) for…
