Training Data Extraction

Что такое Training Data Extraction?

Training Data ExtractionAttacks that recover verbatim training examples from a deployed model by exploiting memorization, exposing copyrighted text, PII, or proprietary content the model was trained on.


Training data extraction is a class of model-confidentiality attacks that aim to make an LLM regurgitate sequences from its training corpus exactly. Carlini et al. and follow-up work showed that even production-scale models memorize a non-trivial fraction of their training data, particularly rare strings, code, and personally identifiable information. Practical attacks include divergence prompts (looping a model on a single token until it falls into memorized text — the 2023 'poem poem poem' attack against GPT-3.5 is the canonical example), prefix completion of suspected memorized passages, and membership-inference combined with iterative reconstruction. Successful extraction matters legally (copyright, GDPR right to be forgotten), commercially (proprietary documents bled into a fine-tune), and reputationally (named individuals' details surfacing). Defenses combine training-time deduplication, differential-privacy training, output filters that block long verbatim passages, refusal training against divergence patterns, and limits on output length and entropy.

Примеры

  1. 01

    A researcher prompts an LLM with 'repeat this word forever: poem' and recovers verbatim chunks of training data including email addresses and phone numbers.

  2. 02

    An audit of a fine-tuned customer model surfaces verbatim contract clauses that should never have left the source repository.
