Detecting Functional Memorization in Code Language Models

Matthieu Meeus, Anil Ramakrishna, Shengyuan Hu +3

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate code at scale. Meanwhile, prior work has investigated whether training data may be recoverable from model outputs, by…

RAT-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Text Anonymization

Nataša Krčo, Zexi Yao, Matthieu Meeus +1

Data containing personal information is increasingly used to train, fine-tune, or query Large Language Models (LLMs). Text is typically scrubbed of identifying information prior to…

Counterfactual Influence as a Distributional Quantity

Matthieu Meeus, Igor Shilov, Georgios Kaissis +1

Machine learning models are known to memorize samples from their training data, raising concerns around privacy and generalization. Counterfactual self-influence is a popular metri…

Exploring the limits of strong membership inference attacks on large language models

Jamie Hayes, Ilia Shumailov, Christopher A. Choquette-Choo +13

State-of-the-art membership inference attacks (MIAs) typically require training many reference models, making it difficult to scale these attacks to large pre-trained language mode…

SoK: Membership Inference Attacks on LLMs are Rushing Nowhere (and How to Fix It)

Matthieu Meeus, Igor Shilov, Shubham Jain +3

Whether LLMs memorize their training data and what this means, from measuring privacy leakage to detecting copyright violations, has become a rapidly growing area of research. In t…

The Mosaic Memory of Large Language Models

Igor Shilov, Matthieu Meeus, Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become widely adopted, understanding how they learn from, and memorize, training data becomes crucial. Memorization in LLMs is widely assumed to onl…

Copyright Traps for Large Language Models

Matthieu Meeus, Igor Shilov, Manuel Faysse +1

Questions of fair use of copyright-protected content to train Large Language Models (LLMs) are being actively debated. Document-level inference has been proposed as a new task: inf…
